Hi Families,How exciting to be back after the holidays! There is a lot to look forward too in first grade over the next few weeks. We will be starting our Penguin unit of study on Tuesday when the kiddos come back to school. Room 4 will be all about Penguins. We will read, write, measure, and research the different kinds of penguins that live around the world. If your family has any photos, books, magazines, or movies that are penguin related don't hesitate to let your kiddo bring it in for show and tell. Our new policy on show and tell is that students may bring in anything that is related to what we are studying. I will be posting some great links for further exploration of penguins later on after the unit gets underway.
We have some more changes happening in first grade as well. Your child will now be receiving spelling instruction in his/her homeroom instead of reading groups starting next week. Spelling homework will be sent home on the first day of the week, and the packet will be due on Fridays. You may need to help your student with extra practice as well because the spelling words and rules that we will be studying are going to be relatively complex. Of course, if you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call.
Thanks for all of your care and support this year!
~Mrs. Elliott
