Dear Parents and Guardians,
We've had another great week in first grade and we are loving getting to know all of our students. We have been focusing on attention behaviors for our Social Emotional Lessons (SEL) including how to manage distractions and pay attention. This week we will be practicing how to regain our focus when we lose attention or get distracted.
REMINDERS
👉Please remember that all Fridays are Dress Down Fridays. Unless you have paid at the office, you will need to send a dollar for your student to participate in this school fundraiser. Otherwise, please send your student in school uniform.
👉Attendance in the first grade is also very important. We cover a lot of material on all days of the week and students will fall behind if they consistently miss days.
👉Beyblades club has started and will be meeting after school on Thursdays from 3-3:30. You will need to provide transportation from school for students that stay for this club.
WEEKLY FIRST GRADE FOCUS
*Language Arts: rhymes, Spalding rules 5, 6, 18, & 19, declarative sentences, nouns, action verbs, adjectives, author's purpose, elements of an informative, and literary appreciation.
*Math: addition concepts
THINGS TO WORK ON AT HOME 😀
*In the first grade, all students should know how to tie their shoes and open/close their jackets. If your student is working on any of these things, please help them master these self-care items, this will boost their confidence.
*Spelling lists will be going home on Tuesday and our first spelling test will be next Friday, September 10th. Please practice ten words a day with your student in addition to the 30 minutes of reading they should be doing each day for homework.
