Our Technology Resource Teacher, Mrs. Clark, compiled a Symbaloo page for us! Symbaloo is a visual bookmarking tool that makes it simple and fun to organize multiple websites. Our 1st Grade Symbaloo has links to a variety of sites that cover multiple disciplines...everything from Mouse Skills (check out "Bees and Honey"...I played it last night!), to science, to math, and holidays. Our Symbaloo sites are a perfect "something more" to supplement your child's weekly homework. You can access it via the "online resources" page of this blog. You can also access it by going to the Pinebrook Homepage. Once there, click "First Grade" under the "Classrooms" tab. Look to the left under the heading "First Grade". At the bottom of that list, you'll see "First Grade Symbaloo."
Field Trip:
Our 1st grade field trip to Claude Moore Park and Heritage Farm Museum will be Wednesday, November 2nd. If you haven't done so, please return the permission slip and payment as soon as possible. I'll post some information next week about dress and lunch, and send a reminder or two home before the trip.
Fall Party:
Please mark your calendar for our Fall party on Monday, October 31st from 1 - 2:15 pm in our classroom. All families are welcome to attend! (NO costumes, please.) A food permission slip will be going home this week. Please sign and return it as soon as possible. Your child will not be able to eat any of the party food unless I have his/her signed permission slip.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading: We will talk about characters in fiction stories. We will discuss character traits, different types of characters (humans, animals, non-living things), and how characters evolve in stories.
- Writing: We will respond to various writing prompts and self-chosen topics. We will continue to work on letter formation, capital letters, punctuation, and spacing.
- Math: We will finish our patterns and sorting unit.
- Science: We will finish our pumpkin investigations.
Thank you for all you do! As always, comments, questions, and feedback are welcome.
Enjoy the crisp Fall weekend! (Crisp. I love that word.)
