Dear First Grade Families,                                                                     11-6-17

This is the first day of the second report card marking period.  Students will receive their first report card during Parent and Teacher Conferences.

Math lessons will now focus on learning about patterns; counting up and back using a number line and number grid; even and odd numbers; telling time; counting money; place value; addition; subtraction and story problems.

Reading lessons will include an emphasis on informational text as students learn about text features.

Students are learning about opinion writing in which they state their opinion about a topic, write reasons to support their opinion, and provide a closing sentence.

Our next Social Studies unit of study is What Is A Family?  Students will learn ways families are alike and different.  Students will learn how families have rules, responsibilities, and work together to help each other.

Science lessons will focus on learning about light waves.  Students will learn about how different sources of light illuminate objects so we can see them.

Students will visit the Haigh Scholastic Book Fair on Monday, November 13.  They may bring money to purchase books at school on that day.

Reminders:  Read 15 minutes or more for homework and record minutes on the November reading log.  Return library books on Monday.  Wear gym shoes on Wednesday.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Dobronski
