FIRST GRADE NEWSLETTER 2-5-21

 Hi! We've had another busy week in grade one! We even had our first snow day! If you haven't had a chance to fill out the survey on how you think it went, please do. I know my first link didn't work so I will try sending another. Next week will be a fun week! We will celebrate the 100th day of school on Wednesday. Please have your child dress in what s/he thinks the style will be in 100 years! On Friday we will celebrate Valentine's Day. Please have valentines here by Wednesday, February 10th so we can quarantine them. Also, if you are donating something for our party, please send it in by this day. This way I can see if I need to run out and get anything.

We learned something new in Math! We are now using name collection boxes. These boxes are tagged with a number. It's our job to think of as many unique and different ways to make this number. We have had fun with this new challenge!

I added a couple of new sites in portaportal under STEM. The kids now can use BeeBot and Kodable. 

We will finish up our adventure in the Galapagos Islands looking for penguins next week. However, we will not finish our space unit before vacation. We will continue with it for a couple more weeks. Hopefully, you can get out and enjoy the night sky sometime during vacation! Cool app: Skyview!

Happy Weekend!

PICS WEEK ENDING 1-29-21

First Grade News 1-29-21

 Hi! What a busy week! I know I say that every week haha but we do get a lot done! This is such a great group of kids...always ready for more! This week we made it to Jupiter. We also talked about the inner and out planets and then rocky vs. gas planets. Reminder, if you haven't checked out the SkyView app., you should! It's free and so cool. It will tell you what's up in the sky. I was able to find the constellation, Orion the Hunter last night! We also continue our search through Go2Science for the Galapagos Penguins! We will continue with this throughout vacation.

ELA/MATH

We continue to read and write daily. We are writing in our Family of the Sun books and have started a heart shaped book. We are working with place value, time and using double fact helpers to solve addition problems. This means knowing how 5+5 can help you figure out 5+6. 

VALENTINE'S DAY

Reminder, valentines should be sent in on or before Wednesday, February 10th so that we can make sure they are germ free when opened on the 12th. Please look in your child's folder on Monday for how you can help with our party. I'll also throw in a class list. 

SESSION ONE ROBOTICS

Reminder that Robotics this week will be Tuesday instead of Wednesday because of the half day.

REMINDER: 

Wednesday is an early release day. We will still eat lunch at school.

Happy Weekend!
