Dear Parents,
We hope everyone had a great weekend!!!
We had a great time last week learning and discovering new things in first grade.
If your child has not done so already, I ask
that each child bring a water bottle, book bag, and lunch box to
school daily. Each item should have the child´s name clearly labeled on
it.
Under the heading Pages (to the right
of our blog) you will find all the links to the different
blogs. Please refer to them weekly.
Last, we would like to remind all the parents how
important it is to read the blog every Monday. The blog is where we will
communicate all the important events, weekly teaching and learning objectives
and daily homework.
This week your child will inquire into the
following:
Language
Arts:
Working with Words: This week your child will be learning these
five words and doing various activities and chants with the words. Your
child needs to be able to read, spell, and use these words in sentences.

Reading: This
week your child will be reviewing his/her book knowledge. Your child will
be inquiring into book elements. We will begin by reading Have you seen
the Crocodile? Then, we will be reading A Kiss for Little Bear . Your child will
make predictions, identify characters and setting and discuss the major
events of the story. We will introduce new vocabulary from the story and use
them in sentences.

Writing: Your child will be
exploring opinion writing. The students will be able to write, state
their opinion, supply at least one reason for their opinion and provide a sense
of closure.

DISMISSAL – We remind our parents that our student’s
safety is our number one priority, and that every mechanism we use during the
dismissal at 3:00 p.m. is geared towards that purpose. Please follow the
instructions and procedures established by the teachers on parking lot duty,
and ask your drivers to do so as well. Slow down when driving in and out of
campus, and roll the window down so the teachers in the parking lot can call
your child(ren) ahead of time. We thank you for your patience and cooperation
in these first days of the school year.
STICKERS FOR YOUR VEHICLES – Each family will be issued
a sticker for his/her car free of charge. Additional stickers may be purchased
if needed at the Administrative building. Please make sure you bring the
license plate number for the car(s) you are purchasing sticker(s) for.
HEADS UP ON THE OCTOBER HOLIDAYS - Congress has voted on changing the holidays
that were scheduled for the end of October and move them to October 7,8, and 9.
Even though this was just announced this week, we will be looking for further
confirmation on the finality of this disposition. Please make a note of this
since we will need to comply with what the government mandates, which would
mean moving our holidays to the new dates.
AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES – Information regarding our After
School Activities ( French, Kempo, Choir, Jazz Band, Violin, Athletics, Soccer
and Basketball) will be sent home soon.
