Student of the Week: Our special student this week is Jacob Hart!  Jacob aspires to be a police officer when he grows up, which would be perfect because he is very loyal and honest!  Some of his favorites are wolves, pizza, football, the color pink, and playing catch with his big brother Josh.  He has a Rottweiler puppy named Tyke and his heroes are his dad and stepdad! J

PTO basket for first grade:  The PTO is looking for “snacks” to fill the first grade basket that they will be selling at the homecoming game.  All of first grade is in charge of filling the snack basket so if you have any boxed or bagged snack items please send in one or two to add to the basket!  This raises money for our PTO program.  J

Reading: All about magic e for unit 3!  See attached for our spelling words and etc. 

Math: We have begun unit 5, which has a lot of place value work.  I love using Base 10 blocks for this because it gives the written numbers a 3D Value!

Reading: We began Unit 3 on Monday and this week is all about measuring time!  Today they hopped for an entire minute…they were pooped!  We are observing many things that measure time; for example, a clock, calendar, schedule, and etc.  We looked at time in relation to length beginning with seconds all the way to a whole year! 

Math: Tomorrow will be spent reviewing Unit 4 and then Thursday we will take the Unit 4 Math Test.  Remember to send back the home-links…they will earn a penny!
