Welcome back! I am excited
to begin this new semester! We have several
fun surprises in store for this semester.
Starting tomorrow, we will be hosting a student teacher in our
classroom. His name is Mr. Terrell. He is a student at Concordia University, and
he will be with us for 7 weeks. He will
be sending out a letter of introduction in the next few days.
Fairy Tale Parade-
This Friday, we will have our annual 1st Grade Fairy
Tale Parade. Your child is welcome to
dress up as their favorite Fairy Tale or Folktale character as we parade around
the school. Some example characters are
The 3 Little Pigs, Goldilocks, the 3 bears, the Big Bad Wolf, Little Red Riding
Hood, a princess/prince/king/queen, Snow White, Rumplestiltskin, Cinderella,

This week in Math workshop…
This week we will review fractions for a couple of days. After this, we will begin to explore and work
with the Make 10 Addition fact strategy.
We will use our prior knowledge of facts that equal 10 to help us solve
other facts. (9+3. We know 9+1=10, so 10 and 2 more is 12.)

We will begin learning about weather and the air around us. We will discuss different types of weather
(sunny, cloudy, rainy, hot, cold) and explore the air around us. We will also discuss and explore different
tools that are used to measure weather.
This week in Social Studies…
We will be learning about maps and directions.
Our Life Skill of the week is Effort! We will talk as a

still try!
