Dear First Grade Families,                                                                             2-2-15

Spelling booklets will be sent home today.  Please sign and return.

I am sending home a reading log for the month of February.  Please have your child read for homework 15 minutes or more at least five days each week.  It is a reading challenge and if your child reads at least 400 minutes or more during the month of February, he or she will earn a prize.  Reading really helps students reach high academic levels of success.

Unit 5 Math lessons include addition; subtraction; counting coins; place value; telling time; number stories (story problems); and use of less than, greater than and equal to symbols.

Science lessons will continue to include study of properties of objects.  Students are studying the three states of matter, solid, liquid and gas.

Writing lessons involve informational writing in which students learn to write facts about various topics.

Reminders:  Gym on Tuesday; Return library books on Friday.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Dobronski
