Let's hope it is above zero and we can go outside for recess next week. Students must have snow pants, snow boots, and gloves to play in the snow and on the play equipment. Children without the proper snow gear will have to stay on the blacktop during recess--BORING! If providing these items is a hardship, please contact Mrs. Neese. Mrs. Neese has many donors and programs to help provide these items for those in need.
Just a reminder...our Holiday Music Program is on Tuesday, December 20 at Medicine Crow. The show starts at 9:15. I hear the first performers are quite amazing!
The next few weeks are looking a little different during our reading block. We just completed unit 2 in our Wonders reading series and are going to wait until after Christmas to start unit 3. That means we will not have any new spelling words or high-frequency words until we get back from break. We will be focusing our time working on our close reading skills using a passage on reindeer. We will look for unfamiliar words, pull out important facts, work on labeling a reindeer, and do some writing about reindeer.
This week in writing, I will be introducing personal narratives. This should be much easier than our how-to writing. Personal narrative writing is basically the students writing about something they have experienced and we all know first graders love to tell stories about themselves!
In math, we are going to continue talking about tens and ones. We will be doing many activities with the 120 chart. I will be sending home a 120 chart and many activities your kiddo can do with it to help improve their math skills.
Wishing you well,
Mrs. Dimock
