Week Seventeen Highlights

Just for Parents:

  • Thank you SO much for the generosity and love that you all showed me throughout the week! The many cards and gifts were absolutely incredible and I feel so blessed to be apart of your community!
  • For our next writing unit, students will need to bring in a special treasure box on Tuesday, January 7th. A paper copy is being sent home today, but here is the digital copy as well: [embeddoc url=”https://annaraisch.edublogs.org/files/2019/12/Shoebox-Collections.pdf” download=”all” viewer=”google” ]
  • Here is the volunteer schedule for the week that we come back from break: Volunteers! Feel free to add your name to an open slot.

Celebrations: 

  • Quote of the Week – The quote that we focused on and tried to live out this week was, “No act of kindness no matter how small is ever wasted.” This week’s quote went to KEATON who tries to make people feel better, especially when they are sad or upset!
  • First Grade Family Time – This week we celebrated awards for lost teeth, shoe-tying, and birthdays. Here are our “award-winning” first graders from this week!

  


Our Learning: 

  • Writing – This week students worked REALLY hard to finish up their nonfiction chapter books and they turned out great! They will be bringing these home to share in early January.

 

  • Word Study – This week we practiced spelling some of our snap words and did a Word Wall scavenger hunt!
  • Math – We took a pre-test so that Miss Raisch could learn what students already know as we head into a new unit! We also started talking about place value and learned about the 10s place and 1s place!
  • Reading – Students got to read with new partners this week to show off their amazing nonfiction reading skills. They are doing a great job using “teacher voices” while reading!

     

  • Holidays Around the World – This week we visited 4 new places, including Sweden! Mrs. Greenlund came into our classroom to teach us some special things about St. Lucia. We ended the week in America and we made Kwanzaa bracelets.
