Good evening!

DAILY REMINDERS: 
  • NO HOMEWORK (except to read, of course!!)  (:
  • A few first graders are bringing home another green conference letter tonight confirming their conference time.  If your son or daughter has one in their take home folder, please sign it and return it to school tomorrow.  THANK YOU!
 Diary of your first grader:
  • Word Work/Shared Reading-After reading The Chick and the Duckling we brainstormed and listed as many short i words as we could think of.  We also read Jumping Jill Went Down the Hill and discussed the words in the story that are in the -ill family (Jill, Bill, hill, still ...).  We also listed many -ill words and reviewed that these words also have the short i sound.
  • Writing-We are making a book for our friend Averie.  Tomorrow is her last day at Crestwood ):, so we are writing why we will miss her, why she is a good friend, or telling a memory we have about her. 
  • Math-We learned how to follow a rule on a table.  The top of the table may say "Add 3", so we add 3 to every number on the left side of the table to find the sum we write on the right side of the table.
  • Science-Our focus today was the summer season.  We watched a short BrainPop Jr. video about summer, read about the season in our online science book, discussed how spring and summer are different, and sorted pictures into different seasons.
