Second Week of September

This week was a crazy week. Monday we had Spanish, Tuesday we had library, Wednesday we had our first guidance lesson, and Thursday we had computer lab. In math this week, we practiced subtraction. We learned that when we subtract, we take away and our number gets smaller. We also practiced by doing warm-ups on our white boards.

In science this week, the kids continued their  senses unit. They played different guessing games with their nose and hands to guess what was in the cup Mrs. Skalaban filled up. On Friday, they used their sense of smell and tried guessing what was in the cup. Mrs. Skalaban had different things like brown sugar, balmsamic vinegar and etc.

This week, we continued learning about colors and different family members. We did an activity that will be laminated and going into our first grade end-of-the-year book. They wrote a sentence stating which color they like the best.

Thank you everyone who has turned in their first grade fee. We will be doing lots of fun things in first grade. We will be ordering shirts soon to get ready for Soaring Skyward. If any parents would like to join us on Soaring Skyward Day, you’re more than welcome to! I’m not exactly sure what is schedule is like that day yet but I can give you a copy once I get one.

It’s going to be a busy day on the 29^th because not only do we have Soaring Skyward, but we also have our fun celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival. Tickets will be $3 a person and kids get free lanterns.
