Hi Parents,
Hope you enjoyed the pictures I posted from our visit to church last week to see Baby Jesus and our Show-and-Tell.
Our news for this week:
Monday: Congratulations Brooke! Brooke is our star-of-the-week.
Began letter book F. In a few weeks, we will start completing a letter book a week rather than the usual 2 week period. In order to complete the series by the end of the year, we have to do this. Be prepared for an increase in word lists, and homework.
A Scholastic book order went home.
Tuesday: Ff picture paper assigned for homework.
In Math we are covering numbers 16-25. Today I began asking each of the students to count to 50. The majority were able to do it~I was quite pleased!
Wednesday: Due to all our Christmas activities last month, its been awhile since I've done a Science lesson with the class. I am getting back into it this week. Science will be more in depth in 1st grade, but I would like to touch on different topics with the class this year. For our next few lessons, I will be discussing the purpose of various body parts. We will cover the heart, muscles, brain, lungs, and stomach. Also, since the beginning of the year, I have read many an animal fact with the class. This is something I have incorporated into my Circle time for the past several years, and have found that the students really enjoy listening to them.
Thursday: Class poem paper assigned for homework.
Friday: Gym (Mr. Fox is back!)
Ladies Guild Hot lunch
Scholastic book orders due
End of the 2nd quarter
Please continue to review the weekly word lists with your child. It is evident that you are doing this at home~the students are reading quite well.
We have a 3 day weekend next week~ enjoy!
Have a good week,
Mrs. Revis
