Whole School Picture
Next Week:
Jesus Time: Creation
Memory Work: Psalm 139:4 - Memory Work is in the front of your child's RED folder. It can be said any day next week. There is an opportunity as classmates are washing hands for lunch. I will put a sticker next to it when it is completed.
Reading: Mrs. Wegner (our literacy coach) will take each child to read to find a starting point for the year.
Literacy Stations: We will start learning about some of the literacy stations.
Spelling: -at words - We will have a practice test on Friday so the boys and girls get a feel for what they are like. The spelling list is in your child's YELLOW Friday folder.
Math: Review of numbers and shapes
Science: What a Scientist Does
Social Studies: Getting Along in School
Art: Color Wheel
News and Notes:
Water Bottles
Your child may bring a water bottle to school to drink during the day. Please send a water bottle that has a sip type lid that pops up to keep spills to a minimum. We have already had several spills and so some just keep the bottle in their backpack and get drinks from it from there. Some of the bottles form condensation and one idea is to put a sock on to cover the bottom so that our desks don't become wet. :-)
Red Daily Folder
The red folder that has come home every day this past week, we call our "Bobcat folder." Please check and remove any papers that your child has inside EVERY DAY. Your first grader will need this folder every day so please help them remember to return it the following day. This is also where you will find your child's homework each night once we start having math homework next week. (There will be no homework on weekends.)
Friday Folder
Please look in your child's YELLOW Friday folder each weekend. Please mark the Church/Sunday school attendance and initial, and remove all papers inside so that I know you have looked in the folder. (Church and Sunday school is ANY church, not just Zion.) Please return the folder the following Monday.
Back to School Night
It is very important that at least one parent attend the Back to School Night. There will be a lot of information about our literacy program and first grade program. You will also be able to see your chid's desk and can see some of the things they have done already. :-) First session starts at 6:30pm on Tuesday, August 23rd.
