Hello First Grade Families!

I lift my arms to the clear blue sky,

I stretch them wide and I stretch them high.

Firmly on the earth I stand,

To my neighbor I give my hand.

“What’s New in First Grade”

• Current Block: We are still in our language arts block, which will continue over into December.

• Letters: This week we will be going over the letters n, k and p.

• Math: We will continue with our math games, as well as continue practicing counting backwards

from 200 by 10’s and 120 by 2’s.

• Story: I will be telling the North American fairy tale Never Kick your Slipper to the Moon, and

an Egyptian fairytale, The Prince and the Three Fates.

Dates to remember:

This Friday at 11:45 is our Thanksgiving Luncheon!! Pack a picnic lunch and a blanket and join your child for lunch on the playground.

We are keeping it simple this year, and asking parents to sign up below to bring a dessert, drink or paper goods to share. Each class will be sharing a song or poem during the picnic. We hope to see you there!

Reminders:

If your child will not be in school please make sure you are sending myself or hello@thegardenmarietta.org an email.
