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.
AUGUST BIRTHDAYS
21st - Giovanny
