Well, we have made it through our first week of school. Needless to say, Mrs. Bonner is one pooped teacher! :) However, I am glad that I can say we had a great start to the new year! The kids sure have learned a lot this week about how things are different in first grade.
With that being said, I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks when our schedule becomes more of a routine. Next week we will start our core instruction in reading, handwriting, math and theme. Theme will be either science or social studies units. Take a look at what is coming up next week in these areas:
Reading - Short a sound and final -ck, "Sam, Come Back!"
Handwriting - We will review writing capital letters then begin practicing our lower case letters. It is so important for us to take time now in the beginning of the year to work on handwriting. We want the students to develop the correct way to form each letter.
Math - We are so excited to have a BRAND NEW math series this year! There are so many great things for us to use a resources and fun and exciting things for the students. Hopefully, your child will come home and talk about having their very own math book. These books will stay at school. However, for homework you may see pages from their Student Practice Book. These are sent home as they are included in the homework packets each week! I think they are pretty cool. The students will be able to write right in these books and they are in color! :)
Theme - Rules and Laws
Like always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any problems. I hope to make this a very memorable year for your child!
