We are going to set goals for ourselves for school that we plan to live up to by the end of the school year in May. We will evaluate them each month to see if we are on track to complete them.
We are in need of black dry erase markers to replace our current ones. They are starting to dry out. We also need wide ruled notebook paper and pencil toppers. Thank you for your donations.
This week we will do a play called the Mitten. Students will read it, act it out, make masks and scenery, and do a performance on Friday. We will write sentences using past tense verbs and pronouns. In Math, students will do story problems, practice their addition and subtraction math facts, and do guess my rule activities. We will have unit 5 Math test on Friday. We will study our phonograms and spelling words in Spelling. In Social Studies, We will learn about the Martin Luther King Jr. and Civil Rights.
Homework this week will be a Math worksheet each night, and reading for 20 minutes. An adult needs to sign the student’s reading log each day to show that they read each day after school. It needs to be turned in Friday. Please do you Spelling homework of five times each word on Monday, each word in a sentence on Tuesday, spelling words in ABC order on Wednesday, and a practice test on Thursday.

We have had many students absent. If your child is absent for more than one day please get their work from me. I don’t want them to get far behind and bring their grades down. We need to keep them learning and their work completed.
All children are expected to be in attendance each day unless they are ill or a family emergency arises. If you know that your child is going to be absent/tardy, please call the office at 807-9668. If your child is absent for a total of 18 days, consecutive or nonconsecutive, excused or unexcused it is seen as truant and excessive. AAL reports all students with excessive absences to the Pima County Attorney’s truancy office. For more information about truancy, visit http://www.pcao.pima.gov/actnow.htm
Truant, unverified, unexcused, excessive excused absences and tardies affect the student’s education and increases the chances for failure. Please help us give your child the education he/she needs to be successful for the future.

All children are expected to be in attendance each day unless they are ill or a family emergency arises. If you know that your child is going to be absent/tardy, please call the office at 807-9668.
If your child is absent for a total of 18 days, consecutive or nonconsecutive, excused or unexcused it is seen as truant and excessive.

Truant, unverified, unexcused, excessive excused absences and tardies affect the student’s education and increases the chances for failure. Please help us give your child the education he/she needs to be successful for the future.
Thank you,Mrs. Brown
Dear First Grade Parents,
There is no school on Monday and Tuesday. Teachers will be doing a workshop.
