Welcome back! It’s that time again! New clothes, new supplies, and a bunch of excited little first
graders reunited with their friends after summer!
We had a fun but busy week. So busy that I didn’t get to snap a
lot of pictures because I was caught up. This week we reviewed over Summitt
rules and also classroom rules. We read lots of fun first grade books and did
summer writing activities. The kids got to explore math centers this week. They
get to go to math centers after they are finished with their work and are
waiting for other friends to finish their work.
Above
are pictures of the kiddos in math center and working together as a team to
create a poster of good citizens. We practiced presenting in front of an
audience and being good listeners.
Thank
you for checking your child’s folder every day and initialing. Next week, the
children will start having weekly homework that will be in their daily folder.
It is sent home Mondays and returned back on Fridays. Also, Mrs. Skalaban will
check out a daily reader for the kids to keep at home. Please keep these for
one month and practice reading the stories in the book. If your child finishes,
please re-read the stories to practice for fluency. It is also good to practice
comprehension questions. Are they able to reflect back on what they have
read?
