Dear First Grade Families,                                                                 10-10-16

Our First Grade Parent Meeting is on this Wednesday from 7:50 – 8:30 a.m.  We will discuss first grade curriculum and various ways to help your child with homework.  Please join us, if you have time.

Our field trip to the Detroit Zoo is on Friday, October 21.  Please turn in the permission slip and money for the zoo, if you haven’t already done so.

We are starting Unit 2 Math lessons.  Students will be learning more about counting using a number grid; addition; subtraction; telling time; counting money; and number stories.

This Friday, students will take the adding 2 math computation test.  Please encourage your child to try their best.  All students work at a different pace.  Ten minutes of practice for homework on math computation is enough practice at this point in time.

Students will be receiving a new reading book bag to use for the school year.  They will be using a canvas book bag, instead of the plastic bags.  Please talk to your child about taking good care of the new book bags.

Students will be getting a new sight word list.  Please help your child practice reading the words for homework along with reading 15 minutes or more daily.

Reminders:  This Friday, October 14, is a half day of school.  Dismissal time is 11:45 a.m.  Wear gym shoes and return library books on Monday.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Dobronski
