What a GREAT start to 2014!

Happy Friday families! We had a wonderful week back in action in first grade. The kids came back ready to learn and excited to share stories of their Winter Break Adventures. I am thrilled to see all 25 of my kiddos again. It sounds like a good time was had by all this holiday season. We didn't waste any time getting back into action! The kids were ready to kick it and work hard. We did lots of writing this week-reflecting on our break, inventing our own secret hideout and describing it, writing a rhyming poem about cardinal birds AND writing about our own resolutions for 2014! In math we are working hard to learn, understand and MEMORIZE our double facts. Extra practice at home will help your child become more fluent in this department. Knowing our double facts will help us farther down the road as our math facts grow increasingly more challenging. Have your child tell you about their double stamping book they worked on today. Next week we are moving on to learning about MATTER, two-digit numbers, the Bossy R, and Greater Than/Less Than. Enjoy the projected nice-weather weekend! Let me know if you need anything...we are in the final stretch of our Baby Watch...stay tuned! Specials for next week: Monday=A Tuesday= B Wednesday= C Thursday= D Friday= A
