Thank you Grade 1s for a great week of learning!
We have had a busy week and are getting more familiar with our classroom and school routines. This week we were able to learn two new games in gym (ask your child what they are!). We began our writer's workshop and practiced journaling through drawing pictures and labeling what we drew. If we didn't know how to spell the words, we wrote the letters we could hear when we said them out loud. Yesterday we brainstormed a list of classroom jobs we can be responsible for to help keep our classroom safe, clean, organized, and beautiful! Today we practiced printing the letter "c" and did a guided drawing of something that starts with the letter "c". Ask your child what they drew and if they remember how to spell it!
Here are a few reminders:
-Please make sure your child has a working water bottle for school
-Water is preferred over juice boxes for lunch and snack time
-Please label clothing items, backpacks, lunch kits etc. with your child's name... if they go missing it is much easier to find their home!
-Please help your child remember that toys from home stay at home. These can get lost, damaged, and become a distraction from learning.
- Students also do not need to bring their own school supplies like pencils, erasers, pencil crayons etc. These too can become lost, confused with others, or be distracting from learning. We have school supplies in our classroom for them :)
