Reading Strategies
Next week we will
discuss “Making Generalizations”. We will identify generalizations within a
story. We will emphasize that making a generalization means to make a statement
that is true most of the time.
Math
Next week we review
chapters 8 and 9 on Monday. We will then take our 8/9 test on Tuesday. The rest
of the week, we will be reviewing all of our previous concepts.
Monkey of the week
Last week’s “Monkey of the week”
was Abbey! Abbey’s favorite subjects are Reading, Art, Music, Math and Science.
Her favorite food is spaghetti with meatballs. Congratulations to Abbey on her awesome week!
Notes/reminders
Over break, please continue to have your student
fill out their December reading calendars. I will collect them after break. They will be receiving their January
reading journals as well. Starting with their December reading journals,
students who complete their journal will receive a coupon for a free personal
pizza from Pizza Hut.
The Flu season is upon us. We are
doing everything we can to prevent the spreading of germs within the classroom.
There is Germ-X located around the room, wet wipes are available and the desks
are being wiped down/cleaned every night. Please encourage your student to use these. Feel
free to send a personal hand sanitizer bottle for your student (little
travel bottles).
Our holiday party will be held on
Friday, December 21st. First grade will not be doing a student gift
exchange this year. Each teacher will be buying gifts for their class.
Winter break will begin Monday,
December 24th. There will be no school.
Please let me know if you have
any questions or concerns.
Have a great weekend!
