Mrs. Scott's First Grade Blog: The week of Mar. 6-10!

It really is the week before spring break! Wow! It's going to be fun 4th quarter learning about weather and climate, plants, and the relationships in Ecosystems: animals, plants, and their environments! Then in May we will do more science...Forces and Interactions: Pushes and Pulls, and Engineering Design!

We will be so busy in Kindergarten this last quarter! Hang on tight! Your Kindergartner will be a First Grader before you know it!

This is the last week of 3rd quarter! I will be doing some retesting on any 3rd quarter skills your child did not master. Check out the packet you got from conferences and see if there's anything you can review tonight. The retesting will be tomorrow! Thanks for all you do at home to help your child with their Kindergarten skills!

We had a fun Dr. Seuss day on Friday! We ate Green Eggs and Ham, thanks to Mrs. Sanders making them for us! We also made Thing One or Thing Two pictures which are hanging in the hall if you come to school. See the pictures below!

Yearbooks! Just a reminder that if you'd like to order a yearbook, you have to order it online!
I will send home the information again in the Friday Folders. If you are new to CCE, the color yearbooks are well worth buying! There will be a Kindergarten page with individual pictures and some class pics, along with other pictures throughout the yearbook of our kids! The last day of school is yearbook signing. The KDG classes will get together to sign each other's yearbooks. If your child doesn't have one, they will get a sheet to have other's sign. I do want to let you know that it is difficult for children who do not receive the nice yearbook when their friends do! It's $16.50! Please consider buying one for your child if possible.

Last Reminder to donate for our Fish Bowl Auction Basket! Please send in what you can by Friday, Mar. 10! Thank you so much!

I hope you are studying spelling words for the test on Friday! The words are: to, you, of, it, he. Bonus word; blue.

This week is Bb week! We are doing some fun activities about bears! We are reading Cordoroy, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, GoldiROCKS and the Three Bears, Panda Kindergarten (a nonfiction book), and The Teddy Robber. We will make a venn diagram comparing the two Goldilocks books and talk about the differences we notice between fiction and nonfiction books about bears!

There are so many fun bear books, so I had to fit in as many as I could!
Friday, we are going to bring teddy bears (or another stuffed animal if your child doesn't have one) to school. They must fit in their backpack!!! We are going to describe our teddy bear in our journal, sing songs with our teddy bear and measure it.

Sight words: dog, baby (not required)

Math this week!
Topic 9--We are continuing with adding by thinking of facts for each number up to 10. The kids are doing a great job understanding how to do this skill! The test will be on Friday.
Then, we move on to measurement!
