News In First Grade

 

  

        November 30, 2009

 

Dear Parents,

Hope everyone had a safe and restful Thanksgiving break. The upcoming month will be very exciting yet stressful for your first grader. Please remember to keep them on schedule with bedtime, homework time, etc. This will make the holidays “very merry.”

 

Monday the doors will open for Bingo for Books at 6:00. You are also welcome to visit the Book Fair in the Media Center.

Friday we will have an addition facts test on +3’s. You will know your child has mastered the facts when they are able to write the answer without using any manipulative such as counting on fingers or counting other objects. It is extremely important that we have mastered the facts as we are soon ready to go onto memorization of subtraction facts.

Friday we will have Theme 4 Week 1 vocabulary and spelling test.

Have a fun week!!!!     First Grade Teachers     

 

P.S. YOUR CHILD MAY NEED SUPPLIES SUCH AS PENCILS, GLUE STICKS, ERASERS, ETC.
