Dear Parents, August 2010
Our first grade class is excited about the beginning of school. We are learning about getting along together in Health ( rules and manners). We are doing a fine job.
Students are busy in Language Arts learning to read words, sentences and stories. Please let your child read to you for 20 minutes each night. Then sign your child's Reading Folder.
Students are learning numbers to 30 and are trading money in Math. They are learning facts to 10, learning to tell time, and reading graphs.
In Science, students are learning about the weather and seasons. Water is also a focus for the first 9 weeks.
In Social Studies, students are learning about Our Earth and Our Country( maps and globes). We will also focus on Benjamin Franklin.
We are off to a great start and learning what first grade is all about!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hoffman
