💡WHAT WE ARE LEARNING THIS WEEK
📕 READING: In September, we will welcome parent volunteers into the classroom and begin daily reading and sight word practice at school and at home. Until then, we encourage you to continue reading with your child at home. If your child was at ACC in Kindergarten, please send in their reading bag. If you are new to the school, please order one through the school website.
📕 SCIENCE: Students read "First Day Jitters" and made their own jitter juice. They practiced their observation and other skills in performing an experiment.
📕 LITERATURE: The students have enjoyed reading and discussing two favorite Back-To-School stories by Kevin Henkes. After reading Wemberly Worried, we created a class quilt about our feelings on the first day of school.
We learned a lot today how to perform classroom procedures and be more independent in packing, unpacking and taking care of their supplies. We hope you could follow it up at home too. They will also bring home Take Home folders so be sure to check them every day to see if they have work or letters to keep at home or send back to class. Please make sure these are empty when they get back to school.
Thank you. We look forward to a wonderful year with you all!
Sincerely,
Your very excited 1st Grade Teachers!
