There is so much going on in First Grade! Please read on!
Test Folders will be coming home today.
HELP!
Our classroom could really use some donations of Clorox or Lysol wipes! Thank you!
The children will be making TEXT to TEXT connections again this week! This is when you compare one book to another book! You can compare how characters are alike or compare facts that you have learned. There will be an example in your child's book in a bag.
Keep Reading! Our Read Across America Challenge is going great! READ! READ! READ! Our celebration will be on Monday, March 4th. Dr. Seuss' birthday is the 2nd, but that is a Saturday and Friday, March 1st is First Friday Mass, so we chose Monday! First Grade will celebrate by dressing up as our favorite book character! Who or what will you be? Hubie? Scaredy Squirrel? Fly Guy? Cat in the Hat? Pinterest has so many awesome ideas! Have fun!
March also kicks off as the month we read to the kindergarten! Each child will pick a book, practice it, complete a book report, and read his or her book to a kindergarten classroom. Two children will read each day throughout the month of March. A calendar will come home with your child's day and book in a few weeks.
