IN FIRST GRADE THIS WEEK, WE STARTED OUR NEW UNIT IN READING, "COMMUNITIES."  OUR STORY FOR NEXT WEEK WILL BE "THE FARMER IN THE HAT".

NEXT WEEKS SPELLING WORDS WILL BE: face, made, age, safe, take, make, cage, cake, late, name, and the two bonus words will be, could and old.

THE FOLLOWING WEEK BEFORE FALL BREAK, (10-11) WE WILL NOT BE HAVING ANY SPELLING OR READING HOMEWORK.  I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ENJOY YOUR FALL BREAK AND GET TO DO SOME FUN FAMILY ACTIVITIES TOGETHER.

IN MATH WE ARE CURRENTLY IN CHAPTER 2-SUBTRACTION.  EVERYONE IS WORKING SO HARD AND REALLY DOING WELL.  I HAVE A CLASS OF VERY SMART STUDENTS!

THIS WEEK WE PERFORMED THE DANCE "PUNCHINELLA".  WE LEARNED HOW THIS PARTICULAR DANCE HAS CHANGED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.  THE CHILDREN LOVED PERFORMING THIS DANCE. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN!!!
