Thank you again for a great visit on Tuesday!!  It was so nice to see so many of you.  If you weren't able to attend we will be having another opportunity for you to join us after the new year.  We have been busy practicing for our first grade character education assembly.  Though this is just for Eagle, make sure to ask your child all about it, they have worked really hard on getting ready to teach the school about gratitude.  We also had a chance this week to meet with our 3rd grade buddies.  We finished up our owl/bat unit, and each of us decided which creature was more amazing and why.  We also got to review plants by using the ibooks.  We are practicing double facts in math.  We also took several mad minutes this week and a bunch of our friends moved up to the next number. Thank you for your help with practicing these at home!!  Watch for the sight word sheet to come home with the facts on the back so you know which facts they should be studying (no sight words this week because of the short week).  Yesterday a paper went home explain the first grade social studies family project.  Please email me if you have any questions.  I look forward to meeting with all of you over the next few weeks at our parent conference.  Your child's report card will be uploaded to BC@home the day before we are scheduled to meet.  Please take the time to look this over before we see each other.
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
