This week we… began launching Daily 5 (Read to Self component), worked on composing numbers to 20, completed our first week of spelling, had a guest reader (Principal Miller), practiced our safety drills, and did shared writing! It was a SUPER busy week! Ask your student what his or her favorite math game was this week! We played Staircases and Collect 20.
Don’t forget…. School shirt orders are due by Monday! These are the shirts that we will wear every Friday.
PICTURE DAY TUESDAY
School picture day will be on Tuesday. Every child will have his or her picture taken even if you do not plan to purchase any. These are the pictures that we will use for the yearbook.
BOOK ORDER
All Book Orders and payment are due by Thursday. Remember, you are welcome to order online {CLICK HERE} using our class code (GPBLR) or you can send in the order form with a check.
HEADPHONES
Each child will need either headphones or earbuds to use with our class iPads and netbooks. I plan to begin using these the week of August 31st so all headphones need to be at school by this date. THANK YOU!
MATH ASSESSMENT NEXT WEEK
Next week, we will begin our 1st grade math pre-formative. This is a district-wide assessment that is new this year. This test will give your student a chance to show me what they learned last year. It will also give them a preview of what they will learn during first grade! Some of the assessment will be given whole-group and some will be give one-on-one.
