1B parents,
The first grade has been asked to
restart an old SHCS tradition. The second grade students are
completing their first communion this coming weekend and the teachers
have thought it would be nice if the first graders could throw them a
small party. It's nothing big, we thought we could gather up a sheet
cake, peanuts, mints, punch (or some other drink) and maybe donuts or
cookies. The other first grade will be helping out too, so it's not
all up to our class. The plan is to have the party sometime in the
morning on Tuesday the 5th. There are approximately 30
second graders and there won't be any parents there, it's just for
the students. If you're able to help out with food, drinks or
plates/cups, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks!
Here's what we'll be working on for the
coming week:
Religion: We're finishing up our
chapter on how we can help the parish and will start the Sacraments
chapter next.
Reading: By the end of the week, we
should have finished our current chapter and taken our assessment.
All students need to remember to be working on their AR books. We're
still working on our goal of 1.5 per student per month. If you ever
want an update on your child's score, let me know a day in advance
and I can get it to you. Thursday is the last day for this month's
AR scores. They might be able to squeeze in 2 more tests this week
if they need it.
Math: We'll continue to work with
clocks, rulers (measuring our plants), and more work with coins.
We'll also keep working on carrying and borrowing.
Phonics: This week week we'll be
working on dipthongs ou and ow, and vc/ccv, vcc/cv rules. Like
always we'll have our spelling test this Friday. All the words and
sentences will also be available on our class website.
Science: We'll continue to monitor our
newly planted grass and plants. By the end of the week we might be
ready to take our plants test, but more than likely it'll be at the
beginning of next week.
A few reminders:
-Everyone needs to be working towards
their 1.5 point AR goal. The last day is Thursday.
-The last set of book orders will go
out today and they'll have to be due this Friday so we can get them
back before the end of school.
-Thank you to all who have helped out
with Box Tops, we're still doing very well. The end is near, but
don't stop now!
-If anyone has pictures from the field
trip or spring concert they'd like to share, I'd love to see them and
post them on the website.
Thank you,
John Smithhisler
