Monday, February 1st will be our 100th day of school. It’s hard to believe. Your children have grown in many ways; academically as well as socially. We have wrapped up our study of compound words in our wordwork. I am expecting the class to apply the use of adjectives, nouns, verbs, and compound words in their writing. This week we will see the difference between singular and plural nouns.
Guided reading groups will continue. Notice the books that your child is bringing home. Many of their levels have been raised. We want to always keep them challenged yet not frustrated or bored. Remember, reading each and every night is so very important for each one of them to grow in their reading.
We will be exploring measurement in math this week with nonstandard units as well as with inches. We also will continue our study of penguins in science.
Some upcoming events to look forward to are our Valentine’s Party on Feb. 12th at 11:30, student holiday on Feb. 15th. We will have our first grade reader’s theater in March and our first grade Author’s Tea in April. Also parent conferences are coming up. Exact dates will be coming soon. Hope you all have a great week!
Thank you,
Mrs. Benson
