October 13-17

Hello First Grade Families!

This week we continued our study of the solar system with the outer planets! Ask your student to name the 4 outer planets and some facts about Jupiter!

In math we worked on "double flap dot cards," a useful tool for finding the 4 equations in a fact family. You may find these in the back of their binders next Friday! They are cool!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 

**We need volunteers! Our class will be tie dying on Tuesday, October 28th from 8:30-11am. Please let me know if you are able to come in for any or all of the time.  The sign up sheet to come in and help is here. 

**Please send a plain white cotton t-shirt to school with your student on or before Thursday, October 23rd. These will be used for tye dying on Tuesday 10/28!
