Dear Families:
   Our field trip to Kingswood is this Friday, June 16th from 9:00 – 11:30. If you haven’t already done so, can you please send in the money ($11.50) for our Kingswood adventure as well as  sign and return the permission slip by no later than Wednesday , June 14th. Thanks!
 
What we are learning:
Literacy - This week grade 1 will review all of our “a” words which you will find listed at the back of their sight word book.
Math – Review of all addition and subtraction strategies as well as counting activities.
You and Your World – We will be talking about Sun Safety.
 
Information Items/Dates to Remember:
·        Our year-end, Grade One celebration for students will be a fun-filled trip to Kingswood on June 16th, (9:00- 11:30) for bowling and play-climber fun!
·        Popcorn is still being sold every Tuesday and Thursday for $2.00.
·        Friday, June 23rd, will be an early dismissal.
·        Please note the last day for cafeteria services is this Friday June 16th
·        K-2 Fun Day (Please send your child with a hat and sunscreen as they will be spending a lot of time outside!)
·        Bike Rally at GNMES on June 21st.
 
Homework
·        Practice all “a” words to be able to read them in a snap.  As an added challenge, try spelling some of them!
·        Read a good-fit book each night – retell the story. This will be our last week for bringing home good fit books!
·        Practice your mental math ability by having your homework helper call out some facts (up to 20) and see how fast you can write down the answer. (Use the strategies we have learned in class: Friends of10, doubles, count on, count back, take away all etc…) Playing Cards are a great way to review all of our addition and subtraction strategies.
·        Please return any library books or classroom books that you have at home.
 
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call me at school, send your child’s communication bag, or send an e-mail.
