First Grade STEM Challenge Day-Today was a blast! I t was great getting to watching the kids solve problems with the STEM Challenges all day as teams. They didn't let the problem at hand frustrate them, instead they worked through it and solved each challenge.
Valentine's Party- Our party is tomorrow. The party is at a different time than all of the others have been. Our party is going to be from 8:45-9:30. If your child wants to make a Valentine's Box at home, that is great with me. We won't be making them at school. Please don't send the box in until the day of the party. I sent home a list of names of kids in our class to help you with the names on their Valentines. I am looking forward to seeing all who can come to the party to join us!
BFG- We finished reading the BFG! Now we are reading for Family Reading Night on March 2.
Writing: We will be continuing Opinion Writing. One thing the kids are expected to do is state their opinion, give 3 reasons with examples for those reasons and restate their opinion for their closing.
Math- We will be taking our Assessment for unit 8 on Wednesday and then moving on to Unit 9 on Thursday. Please look for your child's study guide in their Take Home folder Tuesday night.
Social Studies- Next week we will be learning about Abraham Lincoln.
