Week of November 15th, 2010

November 15th, 2010
Dear First Grade Families,

There are five days this week of school. We get out at 3:00 pm everyday except Wednesday when we get out at 1 pm. We still need more copy paper and Kleenex boxes. The school needs volunteers to monitor the cafeteria and playground from 11:00 am to 1:00pm. Please call the school if you can help. If the school doesn’t have enough volunteers, teachers will need to supervise students during this time instead of having a full 30-minute lunch break. Thank you to all who volunteer.

This week we have ten spelling words. Please practice their words with them as they do their spelling homework. Daily reading is important. Sign the reading log after they read 20 minutes each day. They need to show the reading log to their SFA Teacher daily. Keep up with completing math sheets also.
We are learning about dividing words into syllables in Language Arts. In Science we are learning about planting wheat in a straw and recording its growth. We will record the growth of our grass, and wheat in our journals. In Social Studies we are learning about Christopher Columbus the explorer. We will also learn about Ponce de Leon and other explorers from Spain and how they interacted with the Natives. In Math we will be practicing counting from 0-100 by 2’s and 5’s. They need to be able to fill in the missing number when counting by 2’s or 5’s starting at any number between 0-100.

1. Monday- Write 10 words five times each, read 20 minutes, and a math sheet.
