Please continue to review basic addition and subtraction facts as we prepare to cover new material such as 43+54  and 89-24.  Recall of basic addition and subtraction facts is essential.  Models and numbers lines should not be needed for facts up to ten (ex.  6+3) and from 10 or less(ex. 10-7, 8-6).

Our classroom is in need of some Clorox wipes and dry Swiffer cloths to get us through the last month.  If you are able to donate, it would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you to those of you that sent some in last week and this!  : )

*The  bell rings at 7:55.  Children should not be coming in at that time. Please be sure your child has enough time in the morning to unpack and copy homework.  It is unsettling for your child to walk in right before or as the bell rings.   We begin class promptly when the bell rings.  Slow movers may need to be in a bit earlier than the child that moves at an average or quicker pace.

A reminder if your child is absent to check for the missed classwork.  Some assignments are graded.  Send in a note to me for requested books when your child returns if you did not request them from the office at the time of the absence.

A reminder that a note indicating a reason  and the date is required for all early pick ups and absences.

The stories each week can be accessed through Clever.  Simply log on.  Go down to the red icon under ILA that says "McGraw Hill."  You may have to hit an "X" before proceeding.  You should then see "Grade 1 Wonders 2023" and click.  When the new page comes up, click the "book" icon.  From there, you can scroll through to read any and all stories (some additional ones, also) for the week.  They are listed by title.

Please empty your child's Home Folder each day.  Review materials sent home.
