Weekly Study Skills - Unit 3.1

Welcome back to school! We hope you all had a fun, relaxing break. We have a lot of work to get started on in this new year!  In addition to our weekly story, "A Place to Play," this week we will be starting Topic 7 in math - extending the counting sequence.  We will be working with a 120 chart as we look at counting by 1's and 10's.  Friday, January 12th will be our class Penguin Day!  In social studies we will be learning about Martin Luther King, Jr.  In science we will talk about some plant and animal life cycles.  There will be no school for students on Monday the 15th and Friday the 19th.  District proctors will be at Peruvian Park on the 25th to administer the winter benchmark testing in reading and math.  You will receive your child's scores at parent teacher conferences in February.

December Information

Hello parents!  Please accept our apologies for not updating our website the past few weeks.    Hopefully you saw the ELA weekly study skills that were posted.  This week the students are studying different spelling patterns for the long 'e' sound.  In math we just began Topic 6 - Represent and Interpret Data.  Students will be working on organizing, graphing, and interpreting data in up to 3 categories.  This is a short chapter and we will take the test next week before the break.  We are now moving on from addition/subtraction strategies.  However, it is still very important for the students to continue practicing their addition and subtraction facts in order to improve their fluency!  In science this week we are briefly studying bees to tie in with the Reading Street story of the week, Honey Bees.  For those of you with children in the choir - the winter concert is on Monday, December 18 at 6pm.  They have been working hard and it is sure to be a great evening!  Also don't forget about our annual Holiday sing along on Tuesday, December 19.  First grade will perform at approximately 8:45am.  Feel free to leave when your child is finished, or to stay for the whole performance.  We will also be doing a mini holiday party on the afternoon of the 19th.  Thanks to everyone who has signed up to donate something.  Wee appreciate your generosity! Winter break begins on Wednesday, December 20 and resumes on January 2.  Looking ahead - there will be no school on January 15 or January 19.  Please contact us if you have any questions about upcoming events or any other concerns!
