September 25-29



Dear Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! We have important information on this blog so please check every Monday and read through everything. 

The October Holidays will be from October 4th to October 6th! Therefore, there will be no school on these days; school will resume on October 9th. 

This Tuesday, September 26th, we will start with our Reading MAP Test. Please make sure your child gets a good night’s rest as well as a healthy breakfast for them to be ready to take the test.
We invite you to visit www.nwea.org so you can have more information about what MAP is all about!
 Students will be reviewing all the word wall words we have studied up to this point through various activities and chants. The spelling challenge will be on Friday. 

This week we will be introducing the following sight words:

 Your child will write an opinion piece about which kind of weather is their favorite between sunny and snowy. They will provide reasons for this and provide an opening and closing sentence.

 This week, your child will continue and develop their skills in subtraction. We will finish chapter two this Friday. For this reason, we are going to have a review on Monday October 2nd. We are going to have our second Math Test (Chapter 2) on Tuesday, October 3rd.

 We will continue with our Weather Unit. The children are all aware of the job a meteorologist does. This week we will focus on studying some kinds of instruments that are used to measure the weather.
IMPORTANT: This week, your child will be taking home a WEATHER GRAPH (it can also be called a Weather Log).  The students will have to fill in the corresponding day how the weather was for the day and they will predict how they think the weather will be like the next day.

Small prizes are perfect as rewards and incentives for staying on task! I am kindly requesting small prizes for our Prize Box. These are given as incentives when the students have filled their sticker charts for being caught doing an amazing job and being responsible in First Grade. This is optional. If you would like to help, some ideas are cute stickers, pencils, erasers, little notepads, cars, keychains, bubbles, etc. Thanks again for your support and especially to those parents that have already sent some cute little prizes.
