March 24-28

Greetings Team Peake!
    It's hard to believe that we have completed three fourths of the school year together. I guess time flies when you are having fun! I am so proud of our children for the progress that they have made in first grade and look forward to helping them to achieve their goals during the next nine weeks. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting with some of you at your Spring Conference and look forward to meeting with the rest of you in the near future. The next two months will be dedicated to making sure your child reaches his or her highest potential! Please encourage your child to do his or her best during the last nine weeks as we still have a lot to learn.

                  Here's a look into the curriculum this upcoming week:

Spelling:
/igh/ ex: night, bright, sight
Red Words: new, over, come

Reading:
Analyzing and discussing JGB Story "King of the Frogs."
Making Inferences using text clues.

Grammar:
Using number words as adjectives.

Writing:
Editing, revising and publishing a writing piece about our world travels.

Math: 
Reviewing 2D and 3D shapes, telling time and interpreting graphs.

Social Studies
Studying the geography and culture of France.

Important Updates and Reminders:
  • I will not be at school on March 25th as I will be participating in my last day of Common Core Mathematics Training. Please make sure to make any transportation changes with the Front Office as I will be away.
  • Our new Book Fair Purchase day and time is March 25th from 12:45-1:15. 
  • Our class will be visiting the Atlanta Symphony on Wednesday March 26th. Please pack a sack lunch for your child and make sure he or she wears a Sarah Smith tshirt.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Mrs. Peake
