We are down to the last 2 weeks of the 1st semester already! We have a lot of learning and reviewing to do this week.
GENERAL ACADEMICS: Spalding - Students will learn 8 new words on Monday and Tuesday, 9 new words on Wednesday and review the 25 words on Thursday. The spelling test will be on Friday. Math - We will finish up the unit on Comparing Numbers today (Monday.) The rest of this week will be a review of all the concepts taught during the first semester with an emphasis on adding and subtracting numbers to 20 and story problems. Tonight (Monday) students will have two math workbook pages for homework. The rest of the week students will be bringing home review worksheets for math homework. History - Aztec, Inca, and the arrival of Europeans Literature - Frog and Toad All Year Grammar - proper nouns with the focus on the calendar Poetry - "Merry Sunshine" *Note - Poetry recitations are this week! (Distance learners - We will have you recite your poems during our live Zoom meetings on Thursday and Friday.) SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR THE CLASSROOM: Hand sanitizer - As you can well imagine, we are going through a lot of hand sanitizer this year. We are down to our last bottle. If you are able to donate a bottle of hand sanitizer, we would greatly appreciate it! Craft supplies - At the end of the week next week we are going to be doing a fun Frog and Toad craft activity, and we will need a large variety of craft supplies. Below is a list of possible craft supplies that students can easily use for the activity: - large sequins - small buttons - pieces of tissue paper - little pom-poms - paper with fun designs that can be cut out - for those of you who do paper crafting and have punches, punching out some designs and sending some in baggies. (Please do not send the actual paper punch tools as we are not allowed to share items like that this year.) If you are able to donate any craft supplies, we would appreciate it if we could have them by this Friday the 11th. *Note – Please do not send in glitter. First graders + glitter = a huge mess, and we love our wonderful cleaning ladies too much to have to deal with glitter piles. (Distance Learning students will not be left out. The craft activities will be posted in Google Classroom.) Have a wonderful week! |
