We had a great first week back after Christmas vacation. The children were enthusiastic and ready to learn. Their report cards went home with them on Friday. They are to be signed and returned by Friday, January 18.
In Reading we continue to review cause and effect, sequencing, blends, digraphs, contractions, compound words, predictions, comprehension, short vowel sounds, and vocabulary words. Please continue to review vocabulary words at home.
In Math we will begin a chapter on counting out money. It is important that your child know how to count by 5's. We start out counting pennies, nickels and dimes.
In Science we are learning about the weather and in Social Studies we are learning about the United States and some of its symbols.
In Mrs. Mills' class we are writing dictation sentences for the bonus on our spelling tests. This is something that can be practiced at home. Remind your child that each sentence always starts with an upper-case letter and has to end with punctuation. Mrs. Bellini will be starting this at a later date.
A reminder: Please turn in your money for the auction project. Thank you to all that have already turned it in. There is still time to fill out the Capital Campaign survey that is online. We are keeping a list of all students whose parents have already filled it in. The children of parents who participated in the survey will be awarded free dress on Tuesday, January 15. Thank you for taking the time to fill it out. Don't forget the Family Fifties Night on Friday, January 18. Would love to see you there!
The first grade is responsible for the 60's decade for the 80th anniversary. We will be sending home a flyer in the near future to let you know how we would like your child to participate in this project.
