Happy Monday!

Happy Monday Fantastic First Grade Families! I hope everyone had a restful weekend.

In Math we continue with place value, tens, and ones. Today we separated into groups and counted blocks by tens and ones. We know that the number 87 is 8 tens and 7 ones! Our Chapter 10 test will be THIS FRIDAY 1/11/13.

In Spelling we are practicing -IGH words. When we are writing AND reading, we know that -IGH says 'I'. In addition to our 10 class principle words, each student has THREE Star Sight Words for our FRIDAY 1/11/13 test.

Today marked the beginning of our Living and Nonliving Science unit. A living thing reproduces, needs food, water, and air, grows and changes, and can move on its on. A nonliving thing cannot reproduce, does not need food, water, or air, does not grow, and cannot move on its own. We practiced sorting living and nonliving things today. Ask your child to give you an example of a living and nonliving thing tonight! BONUS: What makes it living or nonliving?

DON'T FORGET:
This Wednesday 1/9/13 is an EARLY RELEASE DAY. Students will be dismissed at 1:40. Please send a note if your child's transportation home will be different.
We will have our January Character Assembly on FRIDAY 1/11/13. If your child has hit a GRAND SLAM FOR CHARACTER remember to send a baseball cap with them to school!
