Hello,
Wow! We have some busy weeks ahead for first grade! Thank you for your organization with paperwork that has come home.

Here are a few links if you are able to help out for Fall Conferences:

Upcoming Events:
10/16: Field Trip Slip Due
10/19: Grandparent Event from 2-3 PM
10/23: Field Trip
10/23: Family Night: Goodies, Games, and Grandparents
10/25-10/26: No School

Reading: Have you heard?  We have been receiving notes from the Secret Service Detective Agency.  They need our help to become word detectives. We have received missions each day to help with our word solving strategies. This week we will use snap words to help us in our books. Students will ask themselves, “Does this mystery word remind me of another word I know?” and then think of similar snap word to help figure out the word.
Here are some pictures teaching our stuffed animals our new strategies!







Writing: This week we are finishing up our small moment books.  We are revising and using checklists. We will make our books ready for the library at the end of the week by adding covers and coloring our pictures.  

Word Study: This week in word study we are working on the high frequency words: so, we, it, and, and up. We are also learning how to tap out CVC words and keep building our letter sound knowledge.

Math: Teachers had some wonderful math professional development last week that we can’t wait to incorporate into our rooms. This week in math we will be talking about efficient strategies for solving addition problems, learn a few ways to solve subtraction problems, and find an efficient way to solve those problems.

Social Studies: This week we will be studying how to interview someone.  We will be practicing and compiling the questions that we will be using during our interviews with family members on Friday.  

 If you have any questions please let me know!

Hello, So far the weather looks good for our walking field trip! On Friday make sure students have comfortable walking shoes and are dressing for the weather. It is a fun field trip to end our year! This week I will start collecting all of the books that have been sent home. If you could please check around the house for books that were sent from school, that’d be very helpful. I will not be sending home reading or math homework for the remainder of the year, the homework will be to check for those missing books! Thanks! Upcoming Events: 5/29: Dress like an animal or bring in your favorite stuffed animal 5/30: Dress like you’re going on a vacation 5/31: Enjoy yourself-- dress in something you love 5/31: Field Trip: Walking trip around Kaukauna 6/3: Dress like a character from a fairy tale 6/4: Field Day, dress active for field day 6/5: NDLC wear or neon day 6/5: Early Release: Last Day of School Reading: This week we will be talking about who our reading partners can be
