August 27-31

Dear Parents, 
   We had another successful and busy week in First Grade! As the fourth week of school approaches, we are ready to take on new challenges and adventures. Here is what your child will be exploring this week.


                                                            I.B. Working Together.


Reading: Identifying Sequence of events, short i sound.

Social Studies: Discovering different types of Landforms. Mountains and Valleys will be our focus this week.

Phonics: Reviewing Poppers and Leakers. Introducing Nosey Neighbors (m, n, ng) Huffy Neighbors ( h, w, wh) and Liars ( l, r )

Math: Identifying strategies to solve Story Problems.

Writing: Continuing to use graphic organizers and the First Grade Editing Checklist to write stories.

A few announcements:
  • If you are sending lunch money to school, please make sure that it is in a sealed envelope with your child's name, grade level and my name included. 
  • If your child has a change of transportation, please e-mail me by noon. This will help us to continue our smooth dismissals. A note from your child in the morning is great!
  • Field Trip permission slips and money are due to Luci Phillips on Thursday, August 30th.
  • If you haven't already, check out our amazing Shutterfly website that Luci Phillips created for our class! You will find many ways to stay connected to our classroom through this resource.



Thank you for your continued support at home! I am grateful for each day I get to spend with your child!

Sincerely, 
       Mrs. Peake
