We are moving right along in quarter 2 in 1st grade. The students are becoming more and more like 2nd graders every day. I wanted to give you a few updates about this month. Our current IB unit is ending this week. The students will have a test on Tuesday. They will be comparing an item and how it has changed over time (seasons, wolf environments in Yellowstone--we watched a short movie about this, communication, transportation, schools). We have worked extensively on comparing then and now and the students have done well practicing this skill. In writing, we are working on a non-fiction story about "How to Cook a Turkey." The responses are pretty silly and fun.
For our holiday service project (it'll be here before we know it), we will be serving our fellow students at Hawthorn and cleaning their desks when they are at lunch (2nd grade through 6th grade). This means we are in need of LOTS of clorox or lysol wipes. Please bring them in anytime between now and then. Hopefully with the extra notice you can pick some up when they are on sale.
Here are some dates to note:
Fri, 11/20: Box Top dress down/popcorn Friday
Wed, 11/24-Friday, 11/27: No School! Thanksgiving Break! There will be NO HOMEWORK or spelling this short week.
Wed, 12/9: Winter Concert
Thanks for all you do! Have a great week!
