I hope you all had a nice long weekend. I know I did! An occasional Monday off, sure is nice. I hope that you saw the new spelling words, and sight words that I sent home last Friday. We have one less day this week to practice those words in class so I sent them home early. I sent home a new poem today. Please read these at night as part of your child's 20 minutes of reading.
Speaking of reading, congratulations to Boston!! He is the first student that has read 25 books. He chose a book today and a treat. I hope that you all saw the 100-book challenge information. Remember that this won't add anymore to your nightly schedule, you just need to write the books down that they have read and send it back with your signature.
Today we did a writing assignment in honor of President's Day. We started with "If I were President I would..." I had some great responses. Some wanted to "command the rich to help the poor", others wanted to "stop the war", and on a light-hearted note, one student wanted to "save money and buy Root Beer". It's so fun to teach first grade!!
I sent home information to all of my students about the school Science Fair on March 22. This is an optional assignment, as well as the school Talent Show on March 30. Let me know if you have any questions regarding these two extra-curricular opportunities. For science, in our class, we have finished up our Water Cycle lesson, and will move to Force and Motion for the next 10 days or so. We will then start a Mapping Unit next month.
SEP conferences are coming up, March 5-9. Watch for your scheduled time to come home next Monday. School will dismiss at 2:30 that entire week, including Wednesday.
As always, if you have any concerns or questions please don't hesitate to contact me and Happy Reading!!
