Hi everyone!
I hope everyone is staying warm these days. Here are some dates that you may want to put on your calendar.
Important Dates:
Thursday, January 31st: STEM day at Addison
Friday, February 1st: FBI breakfast Dad's come have breakfast with your child and stay for the meeting.
Thursday, February 7th: Picture Day
February 11 - 15: Teacher Appreciation Week
Thursday, February 14th: Progress Reports will go home Exchanging of Valentine's
February 18 - 22: Winter Break NO SCHOOL
Tuesday, February 26th: 6 Flags Reading Challenge Due
Friday, February 28th: FBI breakfast: Dad's come have breakfast with your child and stay for the meeting.
Also, please note that in Math we are working on adding 3 numbers. We are working on this using the strategies of making 10, doubles and doubles plus one. We will be having timed math tests on addition facts to 10. Our standard is to mentally solve addition facts to 10 before second grade however our tests will be up to 20. The first grade teachers feel this will help our students to solve addition facts in a faster manner and help to master this standard.
We will be having some animals visit us in an in-house fieldtrip. We have Science standards of learning about animals and how they survive. Please look for more information in your child's take home folder. I think the children will really enjoy this hands on and interactive experience which will take place after winter break.
