Weekly Announcements
- Thank you to all the special friends that were able to come out today! We loved having you!
- Thank you to all of our book fair volunteers!
Can you show me how many tens and ones are in the number 34?
-
What number comes right before 60? Right after 60?
-
Can you count by 2s (or 5s, or 10s) until you reach 120?
How can you sound out a word by saying it two times slowly and one time fast?
Can you break apart a 3-4 letter word with the short /o/ sound in it?
Language Arts
Reading - We will continue to build good habits for decoding when reading. We will also talk about comprehension in order to make sure we understand what we read.
Your child is learning the first 13 sight words in first grade. These words are: here, went, us, they, said, saw, his, yes, then, but, run, let, say. Can your child read them all? Practice at home!
Writing - Next week we will finish our unit of free writing, We have been hard at work on the mechanics of writing so that we are ready to begin to learn how to write a narrative piece. We have been working hard with capital letters to start sentences, finger spaces, punctuation and being able to maintain stamina when writing. We are ready for narrative writing!
Phonics - Next week we will talk about the short /i/ sound in spelling. We will also begin to recognize blends in words and how we can use our knowledge of blends to help us sound out words to read and write. We will also review how /ck/ comes after a short vowel when we spell. /ick/ /ack/ /ock/ /eck/ /uck/
Math
Learners will continue practicing composing numbers up to 120 in different ways using concrete models. They will represent these numbers with objects, pictures, expanded form, and standard form. In addition, students will keep building fluency with skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s up to 120.
Practice counting to 120 forward and backward from any number
skip count by twos, fives, and tens to 120
Draw pictures to represent numbers up to 120
Practice writing numbers in both expanded form (100 + 20 + 3) and standard form (123)
Play games that sort numbers into even and odd
Ask your child to show numbers in different ways (objects, pictures, or writing)
- Please make sure to look at your child's daily behavior calendar. If you see a teacher comment, we would love for you to have a conversation with your child about what happened to receive the comment. Please know many warnings were given before a comment was written. :-) If the day is colored green or does not have any color (they often forget to color it) then it was a great day for them!
- Please review and take out all papers from their take-home folder each day.
- Attendance is taken at 10:00 each day. Please try to arrange appointments around this time so that your child can be present when attendance is taken.
The best way to get in touch with your teacher is by email. Please email the teacher that can best answer the subject of your question. If it is a general question, please email your homeroom teacher.

Beginning on OCTOBER 3rd, immediate families will be able to eat lunch with their child at school on Fridays.
District guidelines limit lunchroom visitors at the elementary level to parents, immediate family members with written permission from a parent, and campus mentors. Immediate family members are defined as the student’s parents/step-parents, siblings, grandparents, or any person residing in the home. A parent can list the person(s) who have permission to have lunch for the entire school year. If anyone other than the parent(s) listed as guardians in our district e-school system is eating with the child, we will need written documentation of your approval.
Dismissal
If you change the way your child goes home at the end of the day, please email your teacher. Children will be sent home their "usual" way unless we hear directly from a parent. Also, please make sure that the teacher has responded to your email to ensure that we got the message. If you don't hear back from your teacher, please call the office to let them know about dismissal changes.
Absences
Attendance is taken at 10:00 daily. If your child is absent you will need to fill out the following form: CLICK HERE Please make sure you fill out this form each time your child is absent. If no form is filled out, your child's absence will be listed as "unexcused".
Birthday Treats
We will celebrate your child’s birthday with a spotlight on our daily school-wide announcements and a goody bag from the school that contains several items, including a coupon for a free treat in the cafeteria. If you choose to send birthday food treats to school, they will need to be store bought and in their original packaging that lists the ingredients. They need to be nut free. Please send the treats to our school nurse. She will look over the ingredients and then deliver them to your child's homeroom class. These treats will be eaten at school. Please have all treats brought to school first thing in the morning. Also, please do not send goodie bags to pass out. Birthday invitations are only able to be passed out at school by the teacher if the entire class is invited. Teachers will also not be able to forward digital invitations as school e-mails are only allowed to be used for school business.

You can find information about how to fill out the form and the actual form on our TCE webpage. This needs to be done each. year. You will need a background check to help in the classroom, field trips, field day, etc.
