This week in first grade...

Hope everyone enjoyed the snow we had last week!!

Thank you so much for the suprise Half Birthday party! I was so touched by all the the students gifts and cards. What a surprise!

Our Field Trip to Elgin Christmas Tree Farm is March 9th. We will be leaving at 9 am and returning around 2 pm. Make sure you get your permission forms in!
Early Release Day- March 10th

In Reader's Workshop...
Take home readers will continue to go home. Please return each book the next day so that your child may take home a new book. If the book doesn't come back, I will not issue a new book until it does. We will continue to work on making connections with all of the books that we will read.

In Writing Workshop...
We are working on focusing on the main idea when we write our stories. Also, we are going to be revising and editing our stories with our writing partners.
In word work this week we are learning about words that have "qu", a soft "c" and a soft "q".
Spelling words: queen, quilt, cent, price, gym
Challenge: quarter and giraffe

In Math...
We are starting our unit on time!

In Science...
We will continue our animal study this week learning about fish. We will start reading about chicks and birds in hopes that our chicks hatch at the end of the week. We will post pictures if and when anything happens!

Hope you have a great week!
