Week of 9/16

Our first Social Studies Class!

This year the first grade teachers decided to co-teach Social Studies to the entire first grade! It is a great way for the entire first grade to get to know the other teachers as well as their classmates! Last week was our first lesson on rules and laws and it went great!

Dear Parents,

We survived our first full week of first grade! I hope the kids enjoyed it and are settling into school and our routines. We are a work in progress but we had a great week! I hope that you are continuing to set routines at home and are giving your child more responsibility. The more we work on this the more independent they will become!

Be sure to check out the pictures from our "Book Club" that we had on Friday when we met our 8th grade buddies. The kids discussed their summer reading books and made a craft to go with it! It was a great time!

Here are your reminders for the week:

- Please have journals decorated and covered by this Friday.

- We will have our first school Mass on Wednesday at 9:00am. Please join us!

- We will have our first reading test on the story "Jack and the Wolf" this Friday. I will read all of the questions and answers for the first few tests. The reader will be sent home this week so you can read and review the story at home.

- Our first Spelling test will also be on Friday. We have been practicing a lot with short A words in school. Please review the words at home each night as well.

- Magic Words will also be tested on Friday so please make sure you are reviewing them each night.


I think that is it for this week! Please email me if you have any questions!
