We will be going to the Media Center tomorrow. Please have your children return their books if they have finished them.
Reminder about Polar Express and Pajama Day-This Friday we will be having a guest read Polar Express as we relax and wear our comfortable pajamas and sip hot chocolate. Here are the guidelines for Pajama Day: Please be sure your child is dressed warmly. Weather permitting, we will go out to recess, so they need shoes to change into if they wear their slippers to school. They can wear their pajamas on top of their clothes, if their pajamas are not warm enough. This is going to be a terrific day!
In math we're counting money this week. We're learning to start with the coin that is worth the most and counting on. Please practice counting quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies to one dollar. We will also be counting bills to $20.00. This is a very difficult skill for first graders, so don't be discouraged if they don't get the concept right away.
We are learning all about Lewis, Clark and Sacagawea over the next two weeks. We will be making our own tiny canoes and traveling over the same route they traveled to the Pacific Ocean. Please ask your children what they took on their travels and what they found along the way.
Have a great rest of the week!
