If you haven't heard, I have an owl themed room! We love owls in first grade because they are so wise! They have a "Hoot" and they are always asking questions like Whoo's here and Whoo knows the answer? I am sure your children will tell you all about our owls.
The first week was really a great week! Your children did a great job acclimating to me and their classmates. Next week we start getting into the curriculum. We will be reviewing all our numbers and work on addition facts to 10. We will be learning about Number Bonds (Part-Part-Whole) and practicing Math facts.
In reading we will start our first unit in Journeys. The reading program is differentiated for all levels of readers and the levels follow a similar theme. Under the Curriculum tab, select Math and you will see I have posted the Math Module 1 Parent Hand-out and Vocabulary. Select reading and you will see the Journeys Home Connection page for your review. Please let me know if you are unable to access them.
Housekeeping items: Please dress cool and send water bottles. Next week is supposed to be toasty and we are in a very HOT room. Also, your child needs a snack and a water bottle every day!
I am looking forward to our year together.
