Weekly Post for THE LAST WEEK OF FIRST GRADE!
Reminders:
o
THANK
YOU for all of the ice cream donations. We were able to enjoy the sweet treat
yesterday afternoon. Pictures below!
o
Next
week we will finish out our last few days of school. What a wonderful year it
has been! There is no school on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday are full days, and Thursday is a 12:25 dismissal
day. I look forward to enjoying our last
few days together as they will be full of excitement. Please read carefully
below so you don’t miss a beat!
o
Looking
for parent volunteers for the annual First Grade Minute to Win it day, taking
place next Wednesday, the 30th from 8:45-11. If you can volunteer to
run a station, we would love to have you. Please let me know via Dojo if you
can help!
o
Thursday
we will be walking to the park to play from about 9 a.m. until lunch time. I
have permission slips already as you filled them out at the start of the year.
Sunshine and playtime fills the last day of school well. After lunch we will
wrap up the day in our classroom. Your child will need an all disposable lunch for the park!
o
Final
Report Cards will be sent home on Thursday. Please review with your child. I
was pleased with the growth within each and every child.
o
All
library books must be returned A.S.A.P. to properly organize and best prepare
them for next year. Green notices were
sent home on Wednesday as a gentle reminder of what to look for at home.
o
We
are working on being TRUSTWORTHY this month. This is our last and final Core
Value. Being TRUSTWORTHY means keeping your promises, being honest as well as
doing what is right, even when no one is watching. Cannot wait to see some TRUSTWORTHY first
(almost second) graders!
o
This
will most likely be the last blog post of the 2017-2018 school year. It has
been a pleasure to be your child’s teachers. I have seen our community grow to
be full of helpful, happy, hard working, and caring students. I know that each and every child has been
prepared in the best possible way for the year ahead. Enjoy your summer
vacation and best of luck to all in 2nd Grade!

Next Week:
Language Arts
What fun poetry
has been. This week we will be reading Winnie the Pooh. A classic favorite! We will
also incorporate a few independent reading lessons for students to be reading
stories at his/her personal reading level. The books will check comprehension
with a few retell and sequencing foldables. I will also be conducting end of
year sight word assessments and minute reads. I look forward to seeing the growth!
Math
Our place value
and computation unit continues as we become more efficient and fluent with
addition and subtraction. I have been
very impressed with the use of various strategies. Students have used tape
diagrams, picture form, and number bonds to decompose and add. The last few
lessons will concentrate on the steps of subtraction.
Social Studies
We are officially ready
to start with our Arizona reports. Students will be choosing information from a
non-fiction text to write about all that Arizona has to offer.
Science
The students will
continue to work on their balloon rockets. How fun! Be sure to ask your child
about their design and test runs.
