First Grade Families,
We appreciate the time and effort you have put forth to help make our Read-A-Thon a success. This even culminates this Thursday with our Literary Character Dress up Day. If you have any questions regarding this please reach out to your child's teacher. The Winter Concert is coming up! Here is the information everyone should know: 1. The concert is MANDATORY – if a student cannot come for an unavoidable reason, their family must inform me TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE (October 29th) so they can be given a substitute assignment. If a student is sick the day of the concert, the family must send a message that day informing me. If a student does not attend the concert and no explanation is given, they receive a failing grade for the concert. 2. DRESS CODE: Students must wear black on bottom, white on top. Black shoes, black pants (black skirt option for girls), black socks/tights, white shirt, and a tie for boys (bowtie is fine). Tie optional for K-2. Color/pattern of your choice. No pop culture. 3. Times and Location (please note student call times): Tuesday, November 12th, 2019 In curriculum this week: Spalding river, planted, plant, cut, song, sing, sang, sung, winter, stone free, lake, lace, page, nice, end, fall, went, back, away paper, put, each, soon, came, Sunday, show, Monday, moon, yet Literature Frog Prince Rapunzel Jack and the Beanstalk Math Counting forward or back to subtract Identifying the missing number in a part-part-whole problem Review for Numbers to Twenty test Science We will explore the characteristics of the wetland and grassland habitats.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy week ahead, The First Grade Team We are happy to be back into the swing of the school and are looking forward to our first full week of the second quarter! Thank you for your responses to our literary character day dress up. I can't wait to see everyone!
In literature we will be learning about the saying "sour grapes". We will also read Puss in Boots, The Frog Prince and Rumplestiltskin. Our October Poem is: The Swing by Robert Louis Stevenson How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasentest thing Ever a child can do! Up in the air and over the wall Till I can see so wide, River and trees and cattle and all Over the countryside-- Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown-- Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down!
