Week of Jan. 12

Events:
-Jan. 19 No School
-Jan. 21 (1 hour early out)

-Jan 28 (1 hour early out)

Notes:
-Our two snow days from last week will be made up May 26 and 27.
-I have posted several pictures from our first half of first grade on my blog.  Check them out!
-This week students were able to pick a game to take home on Thursday.  This is optional.  Students may play this game and read their Hawk book or if you believe they could use a break they can just play the game.  Please make sure games are returned each Friday.
-We have started a first grade snowball fight to see which class reads the most. 

Week in Review:
-We have started a new math unit that focuses on graphing.   We have started new build.  Some of the activities include adding, telling time, subtracting, and greater than and less than.
-This week we read several Snowmen books.  We then shared similarities and differences between the books.
-We have started our new social studies unit in which we compare Iowa to our specific country.  Students are really enjoying learning about some of their heritage.
-New work journey words came home on Monday.  Students have been practicing sorting and writing these words with a partner.  We have also spent some time reviewing old words.
