Coming Up in our Curriculum!
Language Arts - Students will begin learning and establishing the routines of our Language Arts Reading and Writing Workshop. In Reading, students will begin choosing books on their independent level to help build comprehension and fluency while we work on providing the guidelines for becoming strong readers. In Writing, we will begin the task of cultivating thoughts to create original works based on real experiences. We will also begin word work that focuses on creating rhyming patterns.
Math - Students will apply the strategy of beginning with the largest number and then "counting on."
Social Studies - students will continue learning about rules - in our school as well as in our community. In addition, we will challenge them to reflect on why rules are important to our society.
ALSO, please join us this Thursday, September 1st for Curriculum Night at 5:00!
Additional Information:
- Students will get to visit the library and our new librarian, Mrs. Pitts!
- First Grade is planning on attending Computer Lab as well, so please make sure you have sent headphones with your child.
- Please have your children wear tennis shoes on PE days. Not only is it safer but it improves their athletic performance.
- Lunch and recess!!! Students were asking when they would get to go to lunch and recess. It's here! Lunch is from 11:10 - 11:40. Recess immediately follows from 11:40 - 12:10. A new school policy you will notice is that when you have lunch with your child, there will be a designated guest table. For the safety and security of all our students, friends are not permitted to eat at the guest table. In addition, if you would like to access the lunch menu online, follow this link:
- PTO registration is under way. It's a wonderful and vital way to support our kids and school. To sign up visit www.ouespto.com.
