WELCOME TO GRADE ONE AT OUR MAGNET SCHOOL! It is a privilege and a great joy to be your child's teacher. Upcoming Events: Sept. 30, 09: Fieldtrip to Mystic Aquarium. With our focus on Change, Constancy and Measurement from the National Science Standards, this is a very exciting year. Using our Responsive Classroom curriculum we create a caring community within our own room and with others. First graders visit a local Senior Citizens' Home during the school year to read to the seniors and to make presentations about their learning. In addition, in the spring we collect school supplies for children with disabilities in Haiti. The Connecticut State science standards for grade one focus on 'the development of wonder about the natural world and the ability to observe, describe and to apply basic process skills.' Grade one is a year of wonderful changes as the children become amazing readers and writers, the foundation for all learning. We learn how systems help us to communicate with one another and with people around our world and beyond ........ in English, Japanese and in the language of mathematics. In science and global studies there is much to discover about life needs and life cycles, "Take Apart Lab", inventions, recycling, water and ocean animals, dinosaurs, Earth in space, the seasons, our woods, the pond and the orchard. As a NASA Explorer School, our students have wonderful opportunities to learn more about space exploration from NASA astronauts and educators. During our year in grade one we will experience the Fall Equinox, the Winter Solstice, the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. Go outside and / or look in the newspaper or Internet (Almanac.com) to find out when sunrise and sunset is each day. How many hours of daylight and how many hours of darkness are there today? What do you notice about the length and the direction of your shadow? Here is our schedule of special classes: Japanese: Tues., Wed., Fri., Art: Mon., Technology: Tues., Library: Thurs., Music: Fri., PE: Wed. and Thurs. Your child will need sneakers. As there is recess outside everyday, please dress your child for the weather with safe shoes/sneakers and appropriate clothing. During the school year I will be available to meet with parents before or after school. Please email me at lmroz@crec.org or call the school at 622-5400 for an appointment. Sincerely Lesley Mroz
