FIRST GRADE NEWS
NOVEMBER 19th
MRS. KIMBALL
Dear Parents,
Hi! Can you believe we've already had a snow day?! Let's hope that just means the cold weather will be over sooner this year! We were busy last week learning about maps and finishing up our unit on sound and light. We starting reading some Native American legends. We did an art project with the book, THE LEGEND OF THE INDIAN PAINTBRUSH. We will continue with legends and maps after Thanksgiving break.
We are going to do lots of Thanksgiving STEM activities this week. Miss Bromberg will read us a book about the Macy's Day Parade on Monday. We will get to create our own floats after. On Tuesday, we will do four STEM centers: catapults, building structures to hide a turkey, create a turkey using symmetry in it's feathers and build a table that can fit all of the Thanksgiving meal. We're going to finish our turkeys from last week and write about what we would do if we had a turkey for a pet. It might be a very short week but we have LOTS of great stuff planned!
VACATION HOMEWORK
Please, make sure your child reads at least one book per day of break. The kids are doing so great with their reading progress. We want to make sure it continues. Plus, it's a great time to show off new skills to family members :)! Keep working on those double facts for math.
