We have many events coming up this month. February is always a very busy month for first grade. Having just completed celebrating the 100th Day of School, we will have our Valentine’s Party this week on Friday. We will then be studying presidents in honor of President’s Day and February is also Dental Health Month. We have lots to cover in the shortest month of the year.
Our writing and reading will continue with 10 new spelling words and we will also continue to explore measurement in math and in the science lab. Your child should have brought home the first volume of our math text this week. These are to keep at home. We are now working through Volume 2 at school.
I promised some dates of some upcoming events and I have those now.
