End of Year Updates

The 1st grade team has chosen denim or blue shorts/pants and a white top with a necktie for the Spring Dance month.

We will celebrate the ending of our year on the last day of school. Students may bring something to share with their classmates. There are 27 students in the class.

At-Home Activity

The 1st grade will be hosting the Citizen of the Month Assembly at the end of May. One child from the 1st grade classes will be chosen to read an essay they have written on the subject of sportsmanship. All students wishing to be considered for reading a speech to the student body at the end of the May need to submit an essay to their teacher by Friday, May 19th. A winning essay/student will be chosen by the 1st grade teachers. Parents of that child will be notified so they can make plans to be at the assembly. This is good public speaking experience and an excellent opportunity for video memories.

Chapter 5 Mid Test Results

Update

Since the 100th day of school falls so close to Valentine's Day, we decided we would combine the 2 celebrations into one. We will celebrate our one-hundreth school day and Valentine's Day on the afternoon of February 14th.

Ninety-First Day of School

In Writing we added closure to our procedural writing. At this point we have covered everything necessary to pass the standard on informational writing (CCSS.W.1.7)

We also completed work on our world maps. They will be taken home for studying purposes. For the test, students will NOT be required to outline the continents. They only need to be able to put the name of the continents where they belong on the map along with 4 oceans and the city of Los Angeles. (Have them sing the continent song while pointing the the continents on their map.)

Eighty-Eighth Day of School

Today we added time order words to our procedural writing. Tomorrow we will work on introductions.

In Social Science, we continued work on our world maps.
