Hello 1A families! Welcome to the second quarter. We hope everyone had a restful fall
break. We are looking forward to meeting
with all of you this week during parent/teacher conferences. The time it takes to build a relationship
and a partnership in support of each of your children is time well spent. We will start quarter 2 by beginning another
classic, Frog and Toad. In math, we will
learn about shapes, measurement and work with numbers to 20. We will also explore chemistry, Ancient
Egypt, the human body and Early World Civilization.
For families transitioning to
in-person learning in quarter 2 please review Mrs. Moreno’s email sent October
5th for supplies needed.

Poetry-
Bird Talk
By Aileen Fisher
“Think…,” said the robin,
“Think…,” said the jay,
sitting in the garden,
talking one day.
“Think about people-
the way they grow:
they don’t have feathers
at all, you know.
“They don’t eat beetles,
they don’t grow wings,
they don’t like sitting
on wires and things.”
“Think!” said the robin.
“Think!” said the jay.
“Aren’t people funny
to be that way?”
