Weekly Update

March 18, 2019

I cannot believe we are already up to Spring Break! This year seems to just be flying by! That must mean we are having fun :).

Spelling Words:
Remember, the first five words on the list are kindergarten review words and the second five are new 1st grade words! Our words this week are:

1. it
2. at
3. in
4. us
5. an
6. then
7. them
8. these
9. their
10. than

Math:
We are continuing our work on 2-D shapes this week. We will be finishing those up this week and them moving on to 3-D shapes when we come back from Spring Break.

Art:
Our class will be studying James Whistler and his use of shape. They will be using chalk pastels and black paper to create their own replicas of one of James Whistler's pieces.

Homework:
Homework this week will be all of the usual except there is no fluency homework this week. We wanted to give those students who have missing homework to get caught up. Please look at your Parent Portal to see what your student's current grade is for homework and to check for any missing work. I can accept missing work through Friday of this week which is the last day of Quarter 3.

Spring Break:
We will NOT have school the 25th through the 29th for Spring Break! Your student is bringing home homework today, but there won't be any additional homework over Spring Break!

Roaring Readers:
Roaring readers are due by this Friday the 22nd. I will not accept any late entries this year. I will be mailing them off by the end of the day on Friday. Please make sure your student returns their log to me sometime this week.
