Dear Parents, August 26, 2013
It was wonderful seeing many of you at Back-to-School Night! Thank you for your constant support of SHS! To those whose schedules prevented you from attending, if you have any questions please be sure to email me and keep a watchful eye on our weekly newsletters!
- In Language Arts we continue to work on Kindergarten Review.
- In Math we will work on comparing numbers and work on word problems or as we call them in First Grade “Number Stories”!
- In social studies we are learning about our classroom and reading a picture map.
- Science has us beginning our study of plants and taking a closer look by beginning an experiment!
- In religion, we are learning that God is Good! We will also be learning about the story of creation.
Your children did a wonderful job returning their red homework folder and daily planner to school every day last week. Please make sure to sign each day (in the comment box) indicating that you have checked their homework. There will be homework this week in math. Some assignments this week will require you to log on to IXL. Please see the email sent over summer for your child’s username and password if they have forgotten. For online homework I will assign a standard to complete. Please make sure your student is working on the First Grade Common Core standard I assign. I receive an email notification with the date and work completed so please complete nightly as if you would for an assigned worksheet. If a worksheet page is indicated as homework it will be in their red folder and after completing the worksheet it should be returned to school in the red folder.
We will visit the school library Tuesday and will check out a book. As a reminder, the children can bring their books home but they MUST be returned to school each Tuesday in order for them to check out a new book.
Remember PE uniforms on Tuesday! Please make sure that long hair is pulled back and all students are wearing tennis shoes.
Friday is a noon-dismissal day as the teachers have a staff meeting.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful week!
Ms. Manning
