May 26th Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week and next week in reading we will be doing an author study.  We will be reading Arthur books written by Marc Brown.  The students will be completing comprehension sheets and writing before and after reading some of the stories.  This week will be our last week of new spelling words.  We are also going to begin creating a first grade memories book.  This memory book will include some of our favorite things about first grade.

This week in math we will be creating our own graphs and asking questions related to the data.  We will also be taking a closer look at hundreds charts.  The students will be completing number puzzles and creating some of their own.  Look for Home Link 10.7 and a family letter to come home this week.  These will be the final math sheets for the remainder of the school year.

Thursday, May 28th will be the last day the take-home reading books will be assigned.  We'd appreciate having all books returned by Monday, June 1st so that we can catalog our collection and finalize our records.  Thank you!


Special Points of Interest
  • Our final check out day in IMC was LAST week (sorry about the mix-up).  Please remember to have your child return their IMC book as soon as possible.
  • If your child has a summer birthday, they should have brought home a note last week with information and a date that we will be celebrating their birthday.  If you did not get this note, please let me know.
  • Field Day is June 12th - Please look for information in the Thursday folder.
  • THANK YOU to all of the families who donated to the Make-a-Wish foundation.  We raised over $3,000!
