Back to Work!

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

Welcome back! I hope you all had a restful, extra-long weekend. Thank you so much to everyone for taking the time out of their schedules to come and visit with me for conferences. I truly enjoyed getting to sit down and talk to each one of you about the terrific things your first grader is doing.

We learned about fact families today in math. Ask your child to tell you about a fact family. Remind them that a fact family is only 3 numbers and they are all related. For example, 2, 4, and 6 are a fact family because 2+4=6, 4+2=6, 6-2=4 and 6-4=2! Give your child three related numbers and see if they can come up with two addition problems and two subtraction problems using only those numbers.

In preparation for George Washington's birthday tomorrow, we began learning more about this important American leader. Ask your child to tell you something they learned about him today.

Did your child show you all of their homework? We have a a Power Drill, Homelink, reading homework and this week's spelling words coming home today. The Homelink is due tomorrow and everything else is due by Friday!

Finally, don't forget TOMORROW is PICTURE DAY! We get our pictures taken at 8:50. Have your child be looking sharp. If you are interested in buying a class picture, please be sure to return the slip I gave you at conferences last week.

Looking ahead:
Wednesday the 22nd= PICTURE DAY & Library!
Friday the 24th= Movie Night
Wednesday the 29th= Family Literacy Night 5:45-7:00


Have a great night! Enjoy the beautiful weather that is coming.
