Homework: Read as much as you can of the talent show story in our reader. It is a long one, so do as much as your child is comfortable with.
Unit 10 stories are now available on the SUPERKIDS website.
Continue to have your children working on the IXL math website. It is a great way to practice their math facts/skills.
The new spelling words and contracts have been sent home. The children will only be tested on the "pink" words (contractions). I have told them that the words will be marked wrong if they do not include the apostrophe or put it in the wrong place. The test will be next Thursday, Feb. 2nd.
Tomorrow will be an pop top out-of-uniform day!
This Sunday is our Catholic School's Week Open House. Mass is at noon, Open House from 1-3. All are encouraged to visit the classrooms and school during that time. Please have your child come in uniform so they may receive an out-of-uniform pass for Monday.
Continue to practice the Dolch words. I try to test at least once a week if not more.
The readers and gift bearers did an excellent job at the First Grade Mass this week. Good Job!!
Have a great night!
Don't forget to study for the spelling test tomorrow.
First grade has planned the mass this Wednesday. Join us if you can!

Have a great day!

Book orders are due tomorrow.
Please send in any remaining Highlights forms tomorrow (they are in your child's folder if they were not turned in).

Homework: Continue to practice for tomorrow's spelling test! Also, bring in your spelling contract tomorrow.
In your child's folder are two highlights forms. Please sign both and send back to school so we can receive our free gifts. It doesn't matter if you order or not, we still get the gifts. (Someone dropped their highlights forms in the classroom. If you did not get them, let me know.)
Have a great day!
In Religion we are talking about forgiveness, and how God always forgives us if we are sorry.
Don't forget the spelling test is on Thursday. Keep practicing those words!
The assessment test will be on Friday. On the same day, we will be having a "camp-in". The children may come out-of-uniform and bring a sleeping bag or blanket, a stuffed animal, and a flashlight if they like.
Please continue to practice the Dolch words (the giraffe booklet). Each child should know what list they are on.
In Math, we are learning about greater than and less than. Please have your child complete the two math sheets for homework tonight.
In Science, we have begun our Arctic animal unit. We will be learning about penguins, polar bears, and snowy owls in the next few weeks.
In Social Studies, we will be talking about Martin Luther King and the good things he did.
We are also getting ready for the 100th day of school. In the folder is a note about our class goal of reading 100 books by the first week of February. The letter explains this goal and provides a sheet for you to record the book your child reads. Please cut just the slip from the paper every time your child reads a book and sign it. When your child brings the slip to school, they will put their name on a star to hang in the hall. I expect each child to read at least 5 books by then. It can be any book they choose.
Have a great night!
Homework: Please have your child read the story "Golly Helps" at home tonight.
Thank you!
On Monday,January 9,2012, we will be taking pictures for our yearbook of our many and various groups,teams and clubs. Students are to come in our official school uniforms, no spirit or sports wear. Scouts and teams may bring their shirts to put over their uniforms for pictures.
I will still take Book-it forms on Monday for December, in case you forgot to send them in. I have reminded the children that they are ALL expected to participate and do the reading, whether or not they like the pizza. Thank you for helping them remember to do their reading.
The new spelling words came home today, and the test will be next Thursday, 1-12-12.
Supplies can still be brought in next week.
Have a great weekend!
Just a reminder that school resumes tomorrow.
Please have your children bring in those school supplies that were checked off on their list for the rest of the school year...some supples were running low.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break! Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
Happy New Year!
