I can't believe this is the fifth week of school! The first graders are working hard to beat their stamina time every day. The class was able to read and work on high frequency words for a record 14 minutes, then write by themselves for 7 and a half minutes. It was not long ago that they could only work for 2 or 3 minutes before getting tired. This week we are reading about where people live. We will discuss cities, suburban areas, and the country, then compare homes in each place.
First grade will be studying jobs in the community at the end of this month. If you would like to come in and share a bit about your job during the first two weeks of October, please let me know. Presentations do not have to be long. The first graders will be learning about how people help in their communities, so anyone that can give them a closer look at their neighborhood would be fantastic!
There are a few things happening next week to mark on your calendars. Parent-Teacher conferences will be Tuesday and Wednesday. If you have not yet signed up for a time, I have plenty of spots left. Please click on the link to find a time that works for you. www.canyoncreeksoftware.com/scheduler/ut/granite/
Reflections entries are due next Wednesday in the morning. This year's theme is "Within Reach". An information packet was sent home last week with details.
Have a wonderful week!
