101 Day is approaching.  I took photos of my students and we used an aging app.  Here are the results:

This Week's Info

Week of January 23

Newsletter for the week

January 19

Wow! We have completed half of our 1st grade year! Time flies by so quickly. Report cards should be coming home early next week. Watch for them to come in the folders!

Language Arts

We will not be having a new spelling list this week.  We will continue to review hard and soft c & g sounds.

Most of our first graders can now read beginning reader books.  Each child needs to read often at home.  The more your child reads, the better he/she will be able to read!  Please encourage your first grader to read, read, read!

Math

We are continuing to work on writing and counting numbers to 120.  We will be working on place value.

We will also not have math homework this week.  It will resume again on Tuesday.

Supplies Needed

Some of you have offered to help our classroom with needed supplies and have inquired as to the items we are in need of. 

We could use tissues, clorox wipes, and glue sticks. Thank you to those of you who have already generously donated!

More gifts

This week I received a few more Christmas surprises!

 It has a wonderful education thought on the back.  Look at has my name and a picture of my student and I and first grade.  It is the cutest mug ever!

What a surprise to receive this purse and soap.

The sweetest thing ever - one of my 1st graders shoveled my sidewalk tonight and told me Merry Christmas! He brought tears to my eyes. Thank you! You made a big difference for me! That was special and touched my heart!

I would also like to thank all of my students (and their parents) for the many wonderful, thoughtful Christmas gifts that I was given. We have such a caring community and I do so appreciate every thoughtful gift! Thanks so much for teaching your children the value of giving and sharing!
