October 4, 2013

Good Morning,

  Yesterday we had our school wide celebration for reaching our ROCK goal.  The students were treated to a variety of Fall themed activities.  You can see some of them in this week's video.  This week marked the start of many things in our classroom (Full Daily 5 implementation, 1st grade math homework, and sight words).  Next week will mark the start of spelling groups.

  Today we will wrap up our initial look at the needs of living things.  We will pick up this science unit again in the spring (focusing on plants).  We will start our Earth, Moon and Sky science unit next week.

Notes:
*Weekly News Journals are in your child's backpack.

*Please make an concerted effort to complete the reading homework each night (M-Th).  Next week your child will have a reading log in their homework bag.  I explained this log in a previous blog.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Peace,
Tommy
