small medium large Question of the week for students: Can you name one need and one want? Whisper the answer to me in the morning for a star student slip! Bonus: Did Clemson beat South Carolina on Saturday to become bowl eligible? (Sorry Barnette family!)Make sure to check out our photos page! Mrs. Cecil's First Grade Newsletter December 5, 2008 Dear Parents, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. It sounds like the children had fun with their families. Thank you to everyone who sent in items for our Thanksgiving feast. It was a huge success! Make sure to check out the pictures on our website. I am so excited about our community outreach project. The students have been introduced to the concept behind the Ronald McDonald House and are ready to help support this worthy cause. You received information about our annual craft festival that will take place on December 11th from 2:45- 4:00pm. The candy cane gram sale is Tuesday and Wednesday, December 9th and 10th from 7:30-8:00am. For only $.25 your child can send a note attached to a candy cane to any friends or teachers at either Sarah Smith campus. Please contact Jane Zoellick if you are interested in volunteering for the craft festival or selling candy canes. Her e-mail address is jane@zoellick.net. We need at least 14 volunteers so thank you in advance for supporting our efforts! In language arts, we focused on putting words in alphabetical order, reading for meaning and editing our writing. I am encouraging the students to write more descriptive sentences on a topic. Please remember that once the children have been tested on the spelling words, I expect them to be spelled correctly in their writing. In phonics, we are constantly reviewing the sounds we have introduced and I am reminding students to apply their phonetic knowledge when reading and writing unknown words. I have included a list of all sounds introduced so far and the red words. I hope this will be helpful when working with your child at home. In math we are focusing on place value, telling time to the quarter hour, and becoming quicker with basic addition facts recollection. Continue to drill your child on basic math facts with flashcards or orally. The extra repetition really helps. To help with place value, give your child a number such as 86 and see if they can tell you that it has 8 tens and 6 ones. In your childбжs Friday folder he/she has an invitation to come to a class holiday gathering at my house to watch the movie, The Polar Express. Parents will not need to stay and I am sorry to say, neither can siblings. Please let me know if your child will be able to attend. I am looking forward to having them on December 17th from 3:30 to 5:30. Congratulations to our new star student: Ansley Sikes. Ansley shows great enthusiasm for all we do in first grade. I am proud of her!
