We had a wonderful first week of school! It was so fun to start to get to know our new class and each of your students. All of the kids have been learning what it means to be a first grader and the procedures and routines that go with that.
This week will be our first five day week of the school year and we have a lot of wonderful things planned. The following are the things we will be studying this week.
Literature: We will be reading the story "The Frog Prince." Additionally, we will be learning about story elements in a fairy tale.
Science: This week we will continue to learn about the scientific method and perform a few science experiments. Please send in a white pillowcase by Wednesday this week. We will be turning the pillowcases into Scientist Lab Coats to be used throughout the school year.
History: We will continue to answer the question, "What is History?" Then we will also talk about timelines and ancient civilizations.
Riggs: This week we are still reviewing our Riggs phonograms. Please help your children review these phonograms as we will be using them all year in our spelling. Additionally, please help them focus on handwriting. It is very important that their Riggs homework (and all homework) comes back written neatly.
Reminders:
Curriculum night is this Wednesday at 6:30. We look forward to seeing all you there.
The Polar Ice back to school social is this Saturday at 5:25. See the headmaster update for details.
