Please send a blank stamped envelope to school with your child on Tuesday.  We will be addressing these in class so that we can send home our special family project.

We will be starting our geography project in social studies this week.  Please help your child to practice his/her address and phone number.

Please look for the notes coming home on Tuesday explaining the “Tower of Books” challenge.  You may do this challenge along with your child.  There are three ways for your child to earn a book spine: read the book independently, partner read the book with an adult at home, listen to a book that is read from an adult at home.  There will be a list of books to choose from as your child works through the challenge.  After he/she has completed a book I will give him/her a book spine to decorate and add to our first grade tower.  Happy reading!!!

We were a day behind in spelling because of the snow day and our 100th day of school celebration.  Our test will be tomorrow.  Make sure to study the words from last week!

We will be celebrating 100 days of first grade on Wednesday, February 24th.  The students are invited to dress up like they are 100 years old.  We will also be doing some fun “100” activities throughout the day.  Please let me know if you are interested in helping out in the morning with one of our centers.  Your child also brought home a note and plastic bag on Friday.  Please help him/her to fill the bag with a collection of 100 items.

We are in need of some parent volunteers to help with our Market Day sale.  The sale will be held in the cafeteria at 2:00 on Wednesday.  Please let me know if you are able to help.  Thanks!

The first grade students have been studying economics. They have worked hard as producers to create goods to sell to our DuVall School consumers!

We will be selling our items on Wednesday, February 10, 2016. All items will cost only 25 cents. All of our “income” will be donated to the DoVall club to support the “Adopt an Animal” project.

We appreciate your support!

We have been studying economics in our classroom.  Make sure to ask your child about the following terms: needs, wants, goods, services, producers, consumers, supply, demand, income and scarcity.  Be sure to have them tell you about the goods that we produced today!
