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.
