I am happy to report we had a great first week together! All the students have been flexible and continue to work hard as I get used to their routines and we all get to know each other better.
A couple of things came up this week, one being after school pick ups. I understand this is fluid and changes for some kids daily, so I would like to please ask that you copy me as well as Carly Goldstein on all of those emails. There may be a day that Carly is out, and in that case I wouldn't get the email for where your child goes after school. Thank you so much! My email is [email protected].
Secondly, we are all out of hand wipes in the classroom. I know this has been an ongoing request, however we are all out and we'd like to continue wiping hands before snack and lunch each day to help keep us all healthy! Any hand wipes donations to get us through the end of the year would be very much appreciated.
This is such an exciting time of year! Tuesday we are starting our First Grade ABC Countdown! A gold sheet went home last week with the countdown calendar for your child to refer to daily.
I will update more on our learning, but here is a general recap from the week:
Wishing you all a wonderful week!

I will update more on our learning, but here is a general recap from the week:
- The students just wrapped up their Informational Writing unit. It was fantastic getting to hear everyone share the wonderful books they created on space! Next we are working on Opinion Writing- specifically book reviews. On Friday the kids each chose which book they will focus their writing pieces on and we will be working on these over the next couple of weeks.
- In Math we wrapped up Unit 6, and we are beginning Unit 7. Last week the kids had fun creating penguin pairs and counting by twos! Moving forward, we will work with numbers up to 100 and beyond. Students will be adding and subtracting within 100 using grouping strategies, models, sketches and numbers.
- In Science we wrapped up Sound and just started working on Light. Everyone loved experimenting with paper cup and string telephones! We will continue to focus on Light over this next week.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!
