Back to Work!

Monday= D Tuesday= A Wednesday= B Thursday= C Friday= D

Welcome back! I hope you all had a nice week off together. It was AWESOME to have the opportunity to visit with all of my families about the wonderful things your first graders are doing at conferences. Thank you so much for taking the time to come and learn about your child's days here at school.

We are off and running this week. We are learning about diagraphs. Our diagraph this week is /th/. Be sure to practice your child's spelling words at home and be looking for /th/ diagraphs in your child's reading. Our stories this week are "Thanks, Seth!" and "Beth's Job". We have been working on beginning, middle and ending as well as writing captions. Don't forget that the homework for this week came home yesterday and is due on Friday.

In math we are working on story problems. We are learning to pull out important information from a story and create a math equation to match. Practice with your child at home to see if they can calculate the correct equation for a simple math story. An example would be: Ms. Beverage has 9 computer games. She let Ella borrow 3 of them. How many games does Ms. Beverage have left?

Don't forget tomorrow is picture re-take day! If you would like to have your child's school pictures re-taken, or if you missed the first picture day in September, be sure to send your child looking extra shined up tomorrow!

The Blue Ribbon BBQ is this Saturday from 4-7pm. Hope you can make it!

Check out some of our new website games and don't forget to have your child do their homework! Have a great night!
