I have heard back from almost every parent and most students are caught up on their work. Great job! If your child is a little bit behind on Zearn assignments, they can double up and do two a day until they catch up. I usually assign two per day at school when there will be a substitute, so they are used to completing two.
If your child has already completed M4L5 (Module 4 Lesson 5) please do not allow them to move more than one or two lessons ahead. The first grade team has designed the Zearn lessons as a review before we get back to school; it is best for our class that we stay on the same track for these lessons.
If your child is done with the Zearn lessons and you would like to extend their learning, have them work on IXL math. I have highlighted first grade math tasks that will help them review and prepare for our future lessons. If they complete them all, they can work on any material that IXL suggests.
The following work was assigned this week:
– Complete 5 lessons on Zearn
– Complete 10 quizzes on Raz Kids
– Write one informational writing piece
– Practice the spelling words
If your child is behind, there is no need to stress about it! We are all dealing with a lot right now and this is first grade. It is absolutely fine for your child to work toward completing their assignments in a way that works for your family. Please let me know if you have any questions or problems. My assistant and I are here to help!

Cultural Night!
Cultural Night is April 16th
Sign up to help now!
River Oaks PTA will be hosting the first annual cultural night on April 16, 2020 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm and they need YOUR help! To make this an amazing and diverse event, they need to put our efforts together to create a memorable night for our students, families and staff. There will be FREE food, music and entertainment!
We want to create a gallery walk/exhibit showing different countries. Each family can create a display board, bring food and/or artifacts that represent a country and share its interesting cultural facts. You can even represent a country that you’re not from.
In addition, every grade level will be assigned a continent and every class will represent a country. Your child will be part of a class project in which they will conduct research and learn about the assigned country. Come see their work!
It doesn’t stop there! We will also have a fashion show where students and parents can show off the cultural wear. Clothing must be school appropriate.
But wait! Do you own instruments and want to sign/perform in front of the school to represent your country? Do you know how to do Henna Tattoos? Please call Ms. Sandi at 313-827-6750 for more information.
To participate in this event, please fill out the form coming home soon and return to the school by Friday January 24th. We will contact you on the phone number below for further questions.

Mystery Box
Mystery Box
We are starting a new routine called Mystery Box to help reinforce correct sentence formation and questions vs comments (and it’s fun!) It is an adaptation of the classic, Show and Tell. Each night one child will take home the mystery box and place a secret item inside. They will write down three clues to help the class guess the object and bring them to class the next day. Then the class will guess the object, ask questions and share comments. Keep your eyes peeled for the Mystery Box!
