Weekly Preview August 15-19

We had a great first week of school. We went to P.E., Spanish, Science Lab, and LUNCH! I've slept like a rock every night since school started. Your children have probably been tired, too. They have been wonderful. I'm excited about the year.

We will go to the library for the first time Monday. I have not given the STAR test to determine AR level, but it will be soon. I'll tell you more about AR after we have taken the test.

I am still fine-tuning my schedule, but here are the days we will have specialists:

P.E. --every day

Library -- Monday

Music -- Monday and Wednesday

Spanish -- Wednesday and Thursday

Science Lab -- Friday

Computer will not be a separate class, but will be integrated into the curriculum. We will use the Apple Cart in the classroom and the computer room in the new library.

Please look for the red weekly folder to come home Monday. We have a homework packet for next week! Here is what we will be working on:

Reading --short a words, consonants m, s, t, c

Math --addition to 6

Language --classifying

Social Studies --manners and safety

Bible -- Creation (memory verse Genesis 1:1)

Have a restful weekend!

Open House

Parents, I really enjoyed meeting you at Open House! There was so much to say and only a little time, so of course I forgot to tell you a few things.

When we talked about snacks, I forgot to let you know that your child just brings his/her own snack each day. In kindergarten they had snack buckets for the whole class, but in first grade you just send snack for your own child each day.

If your child's chair pack was not here today, Mrs. Hastey will get it to my class as soon as she can. She will probably have them all finished in a day or two.

I can't wait to meet your child Wednesday! Thanks for coming out in the rain tonight!
