Thank you for helping to make our first week of school a great success!  We are off to a wonderful start and I am looking forward to a fantastic year in first grade!  This week we are doing an author study on Kevin Henkes.  On Friday, we read Chrysanthemum which is about her loving her name until she started school and was teased.  We talked about how each of our names is special.  I am sending home an “Investigating My Name” paper today.  I am asking that you work with your child to complete this and return back to school by Friday.  Thank you!
In math, we are counting to 120, starting at any given number.  Work with your child on this at home.  (For example:  tell them to count to 120, but start at 64).  They also need to know how to write their numbers to 120, and if given a number be able to tell the number that comes after it or before it.  In Social Studies, we are learning about the Olympics.

Reminders:
  • Gym this week is on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Wear tennis shoes!
  • I am sending home our first Scholastic Book Order today.  They will be due back next Friday, August 26th!  Please don't forget to send in a check made out to Scholastic with your order.  OR you can go online to www.scholastic.com/bookclubs Class Activation Code:  GL4RP.  Thank you in advance for ordering.
  • Thank you!!!  I have all the forms needed.  Don’t forget a proof of residence and your $35 (materials fee, shirts, planners).  Checks made payable to “Yates Primary”. 
  • Your child can have a free breakfast in the cafeteria between 7:45 and 8:30 each morning.
  • Spelling tests begin this week.  Practice test Thursday and test on Friday.  Words are above.
  • Just a reminder – On Tuesdays and Thursday in the cafeteria they offer ice cream.  It is 50 cents.  Your child will need money in their account (or bring on those days) to be able to purchase ice cream.
  • Remember to send planner back to school each day along with your child’s folder.
