            Ms. Dustin's 1st Grade!

Dear 1st Grade Families,

Happy New Year!!!!!

To start off the 2012 school year, we will be discussing our New Year Resolutions. We will also review the months  of the year as well as the order. We will review our addition and subtraction facts as well as fact families.

We are now beginning our Telling Time Unit. Please encourage your child to wear an analog watch and practice at home. We are currently working on telling time by the hour, half-hour and 5 minutes. We will also discuss weight and tools we use to measure weather. We will also be using our science text to learn about motion, force and gravity as well as different types of weather.

 In Language Arts, we will continue working on our sight word poems and learn new sight words. In addition, we will continue learning new word families that create long vowel sounds such as 'ow'. We will also go over and review dates that include days of the week, months and reading a calendar.

I will be sending home a winter Scholastic Book Form. Please return this by January 30th. Our class activation code is FZKR3 this will allow you to purchase books for your child online.

     Important Reminders!

    The colder weather has arrived, please make sure your child has a coat and proper accessories (hat/gloves) for outdoor recess each day.  In addition, we walk to and from the Phelps Center to get to PE on Tuesdays and Fridays.  This often takes place in rainy weather.  Please have your child prepared for this with the appropriate attire. 

    Please be sure to go over all the papers that go home with your child in thier Blue folder, as well as the YO folder. Also, make sure your child writes thier first/last name as well as the date, on thier homework.

    Students are to wear thier P.E. uniform on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please pack a healthy snack everyday for your child; we have snack at 10:25 am. Students may keep a water bottle at their cubby.

    Uniform

    Please be sure your child wears the correct uniform for each particular day. Wednesday and Thursdays are when the children wear their P.E. uniform; for the rest of the week, they wear their dress. As it begins to get chilly be sure your child brings in a jacket and/or sweatshirt for them to wear outside for morning and afternoon recess. You may also refer to the dress code policy located in the Parent/Student Handbook.
