Week Preview and First Home Project Idea

This week we will look at how we change as we grow. We will take a look at how animals change as they grow as well. Our robust vocabulary words are: change, adult, learn, imitate, and practice. We will continue our work with constructing descriptive sentences.

Unsatisfactory notices are due to go out this week. Students who are in danger of earning a 2 in district identified high-priority subjects (math, reading, writing) will be receiving an unsatisfactory notice. At this point in the year, it is unnecessary for first grade students to be made aware of the contents of an unsatisfactory notice. They are just to inform parents where a possible deficiency in performance may be. If you receive a notice, please review and return the signed bottom portion of your copy. Conferences will be scheduled soon.

Children not passing one or more math tests will automatically receive an unsatisfactory notice as well as those students not reading at least 30 WPM with comprehension on grade level material.

A reminder: Please make sure your child wears appropriate footwear for active physical education movement every day. A child wearing boots fell during PE last week. Boots are not appropriate footwear for first grade physical education activities. Shoes should also be secured with laces or Velcro straps.

Elementary picture day will be Monday the 10th.
