Dear First Grade Parents,
There is no school on Monday and Tuesday. Teachers will be doing a workshop.
Remember to ask family, and friends if they want to buy gold cards. Five dollars of each card sold goes to our class for me to buy great games, and other materials for the class. We are also having a contest for the class that sells the most and they get a pizza party.
This week we will learn /ar/ in Success For All reading. We will write a narrative in writing using the writing process, and the trait of organization. In Math, students will do measuring with an inch ruler. We will study our phonograms and spelling words in Spelling. In Science, we will begin our kit titled Pebbles, Sand, and Silt. We will play a rock sorting game and we will be observing, and sorting, rocks.

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.
NO SPELLING WORDS DUE TO SHORT WEEK!!!!

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.
Thank you,Mrs. Brown
