Nov. 4-9

Hello Everyone!
    Time sure does fly when you're having fun in first grade! Can you believe it is already November? October was a very successful and fun-filled month. Thank you for volunteering so much of your time in the classroom to make it a special month for your child! A special thanks to  Elizabeth Newton for making Halloween so special for our little trick or treaters! She made "Boonanas" and "Monster Teeth" with the children out of different fruits!

 Last week we pretended to be meteorologists by creating and using weather instruments. This week your child will present his or her weather safety plan, which will lead us into our study of storms and the different ways that we can stay safe during inclement weather.

Here's a look into what else we will be exploring:

Reading: Making predictions before, during and after reading. 

Grammar: Identifying and using action verbs correctly.

Phonics: Introducing the use of 'qu' with review sounds. Ex: quit, quack, quick

Red words: your, when, we

Writing: Working with a partner to describe a weather scenario to present to the class.

Science: Studying storms and weather safety.

Math: Finding the missing addend in numeral equations, Comparing lengths, and solving number stories.

Important Announcements and Reminders:

*Please save the date to attend our THANKSGIVING FEAST that is scheduled for Nov. 21st at 10:40.  The children will decide which food items they would like to have at our feast this week. An invitation will go home in Wednesday Folders this week with your child's requested food item or paper product. 

CONGRATULATIONS to our risk-taking Star Student, Siena Moore! Siena is dedicated to learning each day and is a caring friend to others! Great job, Siena!
