   News from the week of Jan.6

Quarter 3 Week 1

A note from Mrs. Chern… 

Happy New Year! It is so nice being all together again. Did you know as of

January 10th we are officially halfway done with 1st grade? Pretty

unbelievable! That being said we are now 1st graders getting ready for 2nd

grade. Therefore, our classroom consequences have changed a bit. Since

we have had lots of chances and opportunities to learn and practice

classroom/school rules and procedures from now on instead of getting a

reminder, getting a time out and then losing a DOJO NOW we will get a

reminder and then lose a DOJO. You may notice an increase in DOJO loss

as the students adjust to getting less chances to be accountable.

Hopefully it will happen only a few times and they will get right on track.

Report cards came home today along with iStation information. You will

find a report in black and white as well as log in instructions on how your

child did during the December assessment window. There are lots of

resources on iStation for your child to practice and review skills learned.

Take advantage of it. At the top of your child’s report there is a number

of minutes per week recommended by iStation for how much time they

should spend working in iStation. Let me know if you have any questions. 

Upcoming Week’s Standards… 

Reading: Identifying text features and what we learned from them,

identifying main idea and key details 

Writing: Using research to write informational “All About” books with

an introduction, details and facts, and closure

Spelling: Unit 18

Math: balancing equations to make them equal, commutative and

associative property

Social Studies: Income, money, the difference between goods and

services 

There will be a math sheet on equality if you choose to do it. 

Upcoming Events… 

• 1/20 No School Monday in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King 
• 1/27 - 2/18 Track Out. We will be in room 207 when we return
• 2/18 the 100th day of school!!!!
• 2/18 Day we will exchange valentines if you choose to send them in with your child
• 3 / 8 Daylight Savings. Turn clocks ahead one hour.
