Dear First Grade Families,
There are five days this week of school. We get out at 3:00 pm everyday except Wednesday when we get out at 1 pm. The field trip to the Desert Museum is Friday. We will need chaperones/volunteers to arrive the school at 9:00 am. We will board buses at 9:15 am and leave shortly afterwards. If you are not free lunch and said you would bring a lunch for your child, please do not forget their lunch. All children should put on sunscreen, wear a hat, and bring a bottle of water. If they own a school t-shirt, please have them wear it.

I stapled a note of grades from last week and papers to for you to see what they did. I only copied pages of their tests with questions they got wrong. If you have any questions on how to help them with what they got wrong please call or email me.
This week we have ten spelling words. Please practice their words with them as they do their spelling homework. Daily reading is important. Sign the reading log after they read 20 minutes each day. They need to show the reading log to me daily. Keep up with completing math sheets also.

We are learning about classifying words into groups depending on their first letter, ending, or concept in Language Arts. In Science we are learning about planting plants and recording their growth. We will record the growth of our Brassica flowers in our journals. In Social Studies we are learning about people and places and will have our test. I will send home a study sheet the night before. In math we will be learning about odd and even numbers.
