FIRST GRADE NEWS 
 

WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY, EXCEPT THAT I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HOPE WE HAVE A FULL WEEK.  IN 25 YEARS OF TEACHING I HAVE NEVER HAD A WINTER LIKE THIS! WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO GET STUDENTS AND STAFF BACK INTO THE SCHOOL ROUTINE.  WISH US LUCK (AND GOOD WEATHER).

 

WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE ANIMAL FANTASY, "RUBY IN HER OWN TIME." IF I THINK THE CHILDREN ARE READY, I WILL TEST THEM ON THE STORY ON FRIDAY. 

 

WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE SAME SPELLING LIST.  WE WILL HAVE THE PRACTICE TEST ON THURSDAY.  THEN, IF NEEDED, WE WILL RETEST ON FRIDAY.

 

WE WILL CONTINUE WITH MATH TOPIC 8.  WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REVIEW AND FINISH THE TOPIC BY THURSDAY (I'M ALMOST AFRAID TO SAY THAT FOR FEAR THAT I'LL JINX US).

 

THIS WEEK I WOULD LIKE TO GET US STARTED WITH WRITING ABOUT ST. PATRICK'S DAY AND SPRING.  WE WILL HAVE A CELEBRATION FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY.  WE WILL DO SOME SCIENCE, MATH, READING AND ART ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE HOLIDAY.  OF COURSE WE WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO WEAR GREEN!
