I do hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving break. It feels as though the days are flying by and winter break will be here before we know it. We still have a lot of work to do in the next 4 weeks. Our scholars are learing so much.
ACADEMICS:
Spalding: Students will learn 10 words on Monday, 10 words on Tuesday, 10 words on Wednesday, review on Thursday, and take the spelling test on Friday.
Math: This next unit on length is super short - just two days, a review on Wednesday, and the math test on Thursday. On Friday we will begin our next unit on comparing numbers.
Science: We are finishing up the unit on the human body this week. A study guide will be sent home on Tuesday. The test in on Thursday.
Literature: Frog and Toad Together
Grammar: Proper Nouns (months of the year), pronouns, test on Friday
WINTER CONCERT:
This is just a reminder that the first grade winter concert is in one week on Monday the 3rd at the King of Kings church. First grade concert starts at 6:00. Students need to be there by 5:30. Please note - Kindergarten performs before 1st grade and parking is limited. Please take the parking time into consideration and leave early.
One other item I wanted to communicate to you. After the scholars perform we take the them out to the courtyard to be picked up by parents. The pick-up is a very stressful time for me because there is so many people and it is dark. Please make sure that you verbally let me know that you have your child and that I can physically see your child is next to you. I will feel better that way. ;-)
