November 1st, 2010
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. Thank you for all the parents that attended the field trip. The kids had fun at the desert Museum. Our class is in need of copy paper. I use a package of paper per week (500 sheets), 20 black dry erase markers, snacks (crackers, fruit snacks, or other healthy snacks), black Epson 69 ink cartridge, and Ticonderoga Pencils.

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 their SFA Teacher daily. Keep up with completing math sheets also.

We are learning about recognizing syllables in words and dividing words into syllables in Language Arts. In Science we are learning about planting grass and wheat and recording their growth. We will record the growth of our Brassica flowers, grass, and wheat in our journals. In Social Studies we are learning about Arizona Symbols. In math we will be reviewing coins and counting coins as well as ordering numbers.

1. Monday- Write 10 words five times each, read 20 minutes, and a math sheet.
2. Tuesday- Write 10 words in sentences, read 20 minutes, and a math sheet.
