This coming up week, we will start discussing the essential question; What makes a pet special? I am sure the kiddos will love this discussion with real and a few make believe pets in their world. We will also begin lesson 3 in math Add in any order! We will be reviewing doubles in math on Monday as some of the first graders had a hard time breaking apart the doubles to add. If your child still needs help after Monday with this skill I will start math tutoring after school on Tuesday’s from 3:05-3:25. I will send an invite through email if your child could use a little extra help with this skill. Please remember to keep all toys at home and not in backpacks as this causes distractions in the classroom. Thanks so much!. Ms. Strain

We have had a great time learning in the month of August. Lots and lots of assessments, the kiddos did their best and we are on our way! Please remember to turn in reading folders every Monday, except when we are not at school on Mondays then it will be the next day. Library started last week and will be every Thursday. Once the children begin to check out books they will need to return them every Thursday to check out a new book. If your child does not have headphones at school please send them, we use them daily in class. Thanks! Ms. Strain

We had a blast this first week of school! We enjoyed learning about friendships and how to make and keep good friends with stories like “The Rainbow Fish” and “The Crayon Box that Talked’. This next week we begin wonders and i-ready and will be making a pledge to do our best on the diagnostics. If your child has not brought headphones in to keep in their seat chair please make sure to bring them by Tuesday. Thanks so Much!
