Week 1 in the books!!!

We've successfully completed our first full week as first graders- and it was AWESOME!!!!!

Here are some snap shots from our week! 

Playing the line game during a restroom break! 

Ordering numbers in math!

Small group reading center with Mrs.Hahn.

Using iPods to practice phonic skills. 

We also attended a dental program provided by the FRC where we learned the importance of brushing our teeth twice a day! 

This week we will be reading "Snap" and reviewing letter sounds, as well as discussing the setting of the story and using nouns to name places. 

We will begin MAP testing on the 21st. MAP test are computer based test that let's us see exactly what skills your child is excelling at, and what skills need more practice! We begin our MAP test at 7:40 that day, so please make sure your child is at school by 7:30. :) 

We will have our spelling pre test tomorrow, and spelling words for the week will be stapled in your child's agenda. Please have them practice EACH night. (Missing homework assignments may result in not attending Fun Friday.) We will also begin having nightly math homework this week as well. It is a great idea to have your child do their spelling on the back of their math page so it is all together and easily turned in. 

This week we will also begin our school wide focus in Habit 1 of the Leader In Me program. Habit one is being proactive - I'm in charge of me. Please post a picture of your child being proactive on our classroom Facebook page if you can, so we may share how our friends and families are proactive outside of school! 

Have a happy Sunday!!
