Hello Families!

Thank you to those who were able to attend Curriculum Night last week! We had a great turnout. If you were unable to come, the information distributed was sent home in your child’s BEE Book. Please contact me with any questions.

Our class has been busy these first few weeks of first grade! During the first week of school, we went on a "people hunt" to learn more about our classmates.  Students had to find a different person to sign each box on their paper. We found out that lots of children in our class play soccer, like the beach, and love to read!














We have launched the first component of the Daily 5: Read to Self. During this time children independently read the pictures, read the words, or read both pictures and words of a just right book at their level. We're practicing building our stamina in order to reach our goal of reading independently for 20 minutes.










The concepts of counting and addition have been our focus in Math. Number writing, counting different items accurately, and playing dice games are some of the activities we've been doing to practice.








ME Bags have been a huge hit! The children have enjoyed sharing the items they brought from home and explaining why they brought each object. This activity has been a great way to learn more about each other!




















Enjoy the weekend!

Mrs. Carli
