Homework, Math, and Ear Phones

(This is a copy of an email sent by us.  I thought it would be handy to also have it here on the blog for easy retrieval of information)

 

We are NOT sending our regular homework packet for next week- as there are only 2 ½ days of school and we want the kids to enjoy their Thanksgiving break. =)

 

But…

We will be sending a packet of science activities that supplement what we’ve been working on in class. It relates to our Air and Weather unit. These are NOT required but would be fun and informative if you’re looking for something to do over the Thanksgiving break.  Or you might want to hang on to them for our upcoming Winter break, these would be great activities for the family to work on together.  

 

In addition. . .

We have completed our EnVision Topic 4 unit.  A math review test for Topic 4 has also been sent home, along with several math homework pages. We will be taking our Topic 4 test on Tuesday, so PLEASE review these materials with your 1^st grader. Topic 4 has been a little tricky for most kids, as we are learning about subtraction, the terms ‘difference, more than, fewer than,’ comparing numbers, switching number sentences around, using addition to check subtraction etc. . . I highly suggest working through these pages with your child to prepare for the test on Tuesday.

 

Last but not least. . .

If you have not yet sent in small head phones or ear-buds for your child this would be a great time to do so.  Any spare pair from home or an inexpensive pair will do.  We use them several times a week, at computer lab, during reading rotations, and at the listening station for listening books.  We ask for this individual donation as one more attempt to avoid lice in our classroom.  Thank you for your support with this!

 

Let me know if you have any questions,

 

Thanks!
