DON’T FORGET
Our Spring Concert is TUESDAY, APRIL 15th at 7:00 at Willard High School. Students should arrive at 6:45 to find our class. Please dress your child in his or her red Friday shirt, or another red shirt.
CHARACTER STUDY
This week we did something extra fun in first grade! Each of the teachers picked a different book series to teach from. I used the Piggie and Gerald books by Mo Willems (my favorite!), Mrs. Jackson used Henry and Mudge books, and Ms. Smith used Frog and Toad. The students where given a say in which character study they attended. All week we read different books for the series and had a variety of activities based on the characters. Make sure to ask your child about the character series they focused on this week!
MATH
Next week we will be taking our Unit 7 Summative test in math. This covers the following skills:
Addition and subtraction within 100 (includes regrouping)
Using place value to mentally add or subtract 10
Subtraction problems with multiples of 10
The test is lengthy, so we will start the test on Tuesday and complete it Wednesday morning.
Ask your child about… the character study they attended, addition with regrouping, our new favorite app “Write About,” and our special visitors during PALs on Friday.
