Historical and literary figure day was so fun! I loved seeing all the creative costumes!
MATH: We are studying Geometry! It is one of my favorite units to teach. Afterall, who could not love geometry? Especially at the first grade level when there is so much exploring involved. I have sent home a "Friendly Notes" packet that covers everything we are learning. It is in the red homework folders. Please keep it at home with the other notes to use when helping your child with homework. Do not send it back to school. *Note: I highly encourage your scholars to continue practicing addition and subtraction within 0-20 during this unit, as it will greatly help when we move on to larger numbers. Students should focus on breaking apart the 10's and 1's (ex. 16-4, becomes 10 and 6, take away 4.) SPALDING: This week we will only be learning 10 words. The review will be on Tuesday and the spelling test will be on Friday. HISTORY: While studying the Maya and Aztec civilizations last week, the students found it very interesting at how similiar they were to the Ancient Egyptians. They also enjoyed solving math problems using the Maya number system. This week the focus will be on the ancient Aztec and Inca civilizations. LITERATURE: Frog and Toad Together UPCOMING EVENTS: Wednesday, November 22nd - Half Day Dismissal, 12PM (No lunch is served. Please send a healthy snack for your child to eat during recess.) Thursday - Friday, November 23-24 No School: Thanksgiving Break Monday, December 4 - Kdg - 2nd Winter Concert Tuesday, December 5 - 3rd - 5th grade concert Please see the Athenian Echo for more details about events. Have a great Thanksgiving holiday!
