August 22nd-26th

Our 1st week of 1st grade was fantastic! I am so excited about my amazing group of kids! Here is what we are doing in our classroom this week:

* Spelling: are, my, the, see, he

* Math: We are continuing to work with numbers from 0-10. We are counting, writing, and showing groups of numbers every day. Have your child practice writing their numbers for you at home. Make sure they don't have any reversals!

* Language Arts: This will be our last week of Kindergarten review. We will continue to review the sight words that are also posted on the back of the homework folder. We are also working on writing our letters and naming their sounds.

* We start our 1st week of rotations this week. Rotations are core content such as science, social studies, art, etc. that are taught by all the 1st grade teachers. Each week the teachers rotate to all the 1st grade classrooms and teach their lesson to each class. This weeks rotations are as follows:

Mrs. Bluemel: Character Education
Mrs. Anderson: Rhythm & Movement
Ms. Potter: Music
Ms. Miller: Playground Rules

* Please remember to help your child with their homework each night and to return their homework folder with them to school on Friday!

Have a great week! :)
