Dear First Grade Families,                                                                                     3-7-16

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

Students will take the Unit 6 Math Test on Friday.  I will send home a study guide soon.  Please help your child study for the test.

Social Studies lessons focus on geography.  Students are studying the different ways we learn about places.  We are practicing using maps to locate places.  For Social Studies homework, please help your child write his or her home address.  Also, have them draw a picture of your house to go with it.

Our previous unit for Social Studies was Economics.  Students learned about goods, services, producers and consumers.  Students have been making craft goods to sell at the First Grade Market Day.  The First Grade Market Day will be held in early April.  I will send more information about it soon.  Students are really enjoying acting as producers and making different items to sell.

On Tuesday, March 8, 2016, all students at Haigh will be reading in the hallway.  Your child may bring a beach towel or blanket to sit on while we are reading in the hallway.

Reminders:  Read 20 minutes or more for homework and complete the book summaries.  Wear gym shoes on Monday.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Dobronski
