We've got Field Trip Shirts

We are so excited to have Field Trip shirts this year! 

We have enlisted the help of several local businesses to sponsor some of the 1st grade classes.

 Their donations have helped us to cover the cost for students to have a field trip shirt and save our families from the extra expense.

  

Our class received a gracious donation from the local Jacksonville buisness, LOCALTAILS! 

Field Trip shirts are kept at school in the classroom. 

We will wear them on field trips and our end of the year field day. 

Safety is our top priority!

 These shirts help us identify students when out on a field trip. 

Each 1st grade class has an assigned color and when you're out on a field trip with 240 1st graders, these shirts come in handy!

Thank you LOCALTAILS!!!

Timed Fluency Work in Math

We will be taking a timed fluency quiz in our classroom on addition facts up to 5 on Friday. Students will be given 90 seconds to complete 25 questions.

Attached to this weeks homework was a practice sheet. These are facts that students should have mastered in Kindergarten. Adding the timed element does put pressure on students, even when it applies to something they have mastered. 

Make sure you are practicing using a timer at home so that your child becomes comfortable. We have been doing timed activities in our daily math workshop for the past 3 weeks. 

The homework fluency practice sheet:

Our quiz will look very similar to the homework. 

Thank you for your support at home!

Scholastic Orders

Have your ever ordered from Scholastic?

Our class has an account that makes it very easy to order and expand your home library! 

There are two ways to order:

1- Flyer Orders 

Every month we will send home a paper Flyer. You are welcome to select the books you would like to order and send the payment in with your child in their Blue Home-School Folder.

2- Scholastic Book Club Online

Www.Scholastic.com/readingclub 

Class Code: KJNXX

All orders will be shipped to the school and distributed to the students. 

Ordering books are great holiday and birthday gifts. We don't mind making arrangements for orders to be picked up from the office or after school so students aren't aware of such an awesome treat. 

Everytime an order is made the class gets points that can be used to build our classroom library. 

Thank you!

Have fun ordering :)
