June 7th Update
It has started to rain, but the good news is that we were able to fit in all of the field day events by lunch time. We had a blast! I am sure that you will hear all about it tonight.
Next week (week of June 11th) we will be doing special thematic events as a whole first grade class. The children will be having SUPERKIDS Day on the day of our party, 6/15. We are so excited about having the chance to dress out of uniform as our favorite Superkid! They may also bring small props or accessories. I am sure that your children will have no trouble telling you about the favorites, and what they like. Please keep in mind that if your child doesn't chose to dress, then they will need to wear their gym uniform.
As you know, on June 15th we will be having our end of the year celebration as a whole first grade class. Thank you all so very much for signing up for things for our party. As long as we have sunshine, families are invited to join us on the field. The children will be having a scavenger hunt at 9:00 am when we will be "hunting" in teams with friends from 1A and 1B. Our party will continue until 11:00.
Please Note:
June 15th: Class Party/ SUPERKIDS Day
*Please bring a beach towel to school today.
June 18th: Clean Up Day
*Please bring an empty backpack to school as well as some plastic grocery bags.
June 19th: Half- Day
* Dismissal is at 11:45.
If your child is not going to be in school on the 18th and 19th please let me know ahead of time.

May News
Hello 1C Families,
We have been super busy! Here is what we have been up to!
In SUPERKIDS we are working on unit 5 in More Adventures. Skills for this unit include reading and writing words with r- controlled vowels: ar, er, ir, or, ur. We are also learning about synonyms and homophones. We have had lots of fun writing poems with verbs and adjectives recently. Memory words for this unit and unit 6 include: cold, know, does, laugh, both, again, kind, buy, find, right, wash, and light.
In Science we are having a great time watching the ladybug and butterfly life cycles right before our eyes. We are journaling their changes and look forward to welcoming our new friends in the coming weeks. In science we are also learning about classifying bugs vs. insects. The children are doing excellent work with highlighting, labeling, and illustrating in their journals.
In Social Studies we have been learning about the USA. We have enjoyed learning about some basic geography, direction, map keys and understanding symbols on a map key. Learning about US symbols was a great experience. I hope that you had a chance to check out our artwork of US Symbols in my last post. We are starting to work on our new world atlases. The children will be making their own atlases of the 7 continents to keep. We will also read about the continents in our Nystrom atlases.
In Math We are working on the following concepts: subtracting a number from 10, dozen and half- dozen, estimating distances, reviewing all coins and counting coins/bills. We will also be drawing line segments to specific lengths in inches, studying congruent and noncongruent shapes, and ordering events according to time. Our class is also starting "Math Minutes" which will give them a chance to climb the ladder when they show mastery of addition and subtraction facts. The children will move up the ladder at their own pace and spend extra time on facts that may be a challenge to them.
In Religion We have been learning about the season of Easter, followed by the Ascension and the upcoming Pentecost. In our book we are also working on chapter 8, We Give Thanks to God and moving ahead to God's Son Jesus. Important words for these chapters include: Lord's Prayer, hallowed, Angel, Mary, Savior.
Looking Ahead:
- Field Day is on June 7th all day! The kids in our class are asked to wear a yellow tshirt with their gym uniform shorts and sneakers. Coach D is also looking for parent volunteers for the day, morning, or afternoon. Popsicle and small water donations are also appreciated.
- During the week of June 11th we will have some special events with the whole first grade. Plan ahead! The children will be able to dress up as their favorite SUPERKID! This is a big tradition for the first graders! Start to talk with your child about who their favorite it. What are they interested in? What might they wear to show that they know all about their favorite? More details will be coming soon.
