NOTE FROM MRS. VAZQUEZ:
Our field trip was fantastic! I hope my first graders shared their experience with you last week. We were given the opportunity to taste carrots and beets. Every student planted a seed in mini pots. Our class will be checking them on Wednesday since we have them in the Primary Garden (Kindergarten Garden).

A SNEAK PEEK AT OUR ACADEMICS
Language Arts:
Phonics: We continue adding words to our word wall. We study the words closely to find ways to remember the word or spell the word.
Grammar/Writing: We worked on sentence corrections in the last two weeks (check the classwork folder). We have done all the corrections together but soon the students will work on their own.
Students have been looking over their writing and editing their own work.
- A sentence begins with a capital letter.
- A sentence needs to be stopped with a period, exclamation or question mark.
- There are spaces between words.
Reading: Kids are continuing to pick up good reading habits. Please have them explain the bad habits. The kids have a great time when I model a bad habit and they teach me what to do! 🙂
We have made a list of “Drop the Bad Habit”
- The FREEZE
- THE TELL ME, TELL ME!
- THE MUMBLE
- THE BLOOPER
We are picking up good habits!
- Check the picture
- Look at all the parts of the word
- Check it!
Math: Math test will be on Friday. Please check their homework folder on Wednesday for a study guide. Students may practice the worksheet at home but DO NOT need to return. It is a study sheet.
Religion: Saint selection will be made by Friday! I sent home the SLE’s last week in your child’s homework folder. We are learning to identify which SLE’s we use throughout our day.
Science: Plant Life Cycle/Animal Life Cycle
REMINDERS
- Friday: 2:45 Dismissal!
