Thank you for coming out for PTC, it was so great to share progress with you and show off some of your first grader's hard work. Please do not hesitate to get in touch (email is best) if you want to chat more or have a follow up question.
New trick words this week are you & your. We also have been learning about bonus letters (1,z,s,f) that see at the end of a word with a short vowel (example: shell, mess, fill, buzz). We introduced our first glued sound /all/. We know if we can spell all we can spell many more words like fall, call, small etc.
We have Library on Monday! We missed it the last few weeks due to PTC and guidance. Please send library books and book bags back to school this Monday!
Hopefully you saw the blue notice that went home last week about the BES first grade mitten tree. We are collecting gently used or new mittens, hats, scarves etc. to be donated to children in need of items this upcoming winter season. Please consider sending a donation (especially if your child has out grown an item).
Our upcoming book pal Thanksgiving Feast will be Tuesday 11-22 at 830 am in our BES cafeteria. Families are welcome to come and watch (heads up it is very quick about 25 minutes) but it is primarily for the students to snack and exchange gifts with their fourth grade pal.
On Monday we voted in a first grade election for what gift we should make for our book pals. The first graders went into an election booth and voted for either necklace, picture frame or bookmark. Necklaces won!
We are in need of some items for our book pal feast:
17 drinks (water bags or juice boxes or a gallon of cider)
mini muffins one dozen per donation (homemade or store bought any flavor) total of 6 dozen.
Today we had a great time making and graphing our Turkey Glyphs! We made turkeys where each color feather represented a food we may or may not like to eat.
Red-cranberry sauce
Orange-pumpkin pie
Yellow-corn
Green-green beans
Pink-potatoes
Brown-stuffing
We found that orange, yellow, green and pink were very popular!
