The class has gotten off to a great start this year! They have a lot more to learn and a short time to get there so remember to read each evening, look for math homework and encourage good work habits.

Last week we analyzed nouns and began our discussion of adjectives. We will continue identifying and using adjectives in our writing this week and next. Last week, we learned how to measure using different units of measurement. This week we will be focusing on using these measurements in everyday problem solving by answering the question, “How much longer/shorter is …?” This is usually a difficult concept for our first graders. So be aware to maybe work on this subtraction skill at home. In reading this week, the students will be tested with the mid-year TPRI to show their progress. This is an individualized test that was performed at the beginning of the year and will be done at the end of the year as well.  In Social Studies this week, the class will read, discuss, and learn about Martin Luther King Jr. and The Golden Rule.

I want to thank the moms who helped put together our Christmas Party. The kids had a great time and it was all very nice. Our Valentine’s Party will be on Friday, February 12th. I know it will be a big success!
