small medium large First Grade News December 23, 2008 Dear Parents, Now that winter is upon us I’d like to remind you of a few important details. It is necessary for the children to wear shoes or sneakers at school rather than their boots all day. Some children have been forgetting and the floors here at Cole School have been getting significantly marked up from the children’s boots. Please remember winter apparel each and every day whether the children go out or not. Snowpants, boots, hats, gloves or mittens and jackets that the children are able to zip up themselves. An extra pair of socks in a ziplock bag tucked in their backpack is also helpful. Having an extra tote bag for snow apparel is always an option you may wish to consider. Children’s lunch tickets have been getting misplaced so a wallet or small pouch, or envelope tucked in their homework folder will help to prevent the worries of some children at lunchtime. Please have child’s name on back of lunch tickets since tickets are often dropped in and out of the classroom. Thanks! Over vacation I hope the children will spend some time writing about winter fun. I am sending home some writing paper with this newsletter for that purpose. The expectation now is to write 4-5 sentences, with varied sentence beginnings, starting to use some rich words, remembering to use uppercase letters at the beginning of sentences and important words only, careful formation of letters, punctuation, etc. Gently critique your child’s work giving the necessary feedback to help him/her strengthen writing skills. I look forward to having the children share their writing work when they return to school after the Christmas break! Although our unit in subtraction is completed, continue to review as we will do the same throughout the year. Using cereal, pasta, or m & m’s adds to the fun of practicing this math concept. Make up little stories that allows the children to eat when they are subtracting. We will continue our unit on measurement after the vacation. Thanks for supporting your child with all the math homework they have been completing in this area! Once again I would like to thank my first grade friends and families for all the wonderful holiday gifts I received. It was so kind of you to think of me at this busy time of year. Enjoy the holidays and the vacation break! I look forward to the coming year and moving full speed ahead. June will be hear before you know it and there is much to be done. Happy New Year!
