Dear Families,
Welcome March! Spring is sneaking up!!!!! Tally’s Treasures can’t wait!!! We are being spoiled by some beautiful weather and are loving it. We were also so thankful for the rain God sent. Please send a water bottle with your child each day as they are warm and thirsty when recess is over!!!!
LANGUAGE ARTS – The children are improving on their comprehension packets and getting more accurate with first time answers. Some are on their last packet of Word Builders, however, we will be reviewing throughout the remainder of First Grade and practice with application of these sounds in text.
MATH – The Money Contract will be in the Monday Work Envelope. Not all students have completed it. It does not need to be completed and returned, however, it would be helpful if you continue to practice counting coins. This is not mastered yet for everybody. We have now begun Adding and Subtracting to 20.
FIVE – A DAY – We make the corrections at school, but please go over at home the kinds of mistakes your child is making. You will know they made a mistake if the number beside the problem is circled in a colored pencil or crayon. You do not need to send it back. The first week we did it all together.
SOCIAL SCIENCE – We are also are continuing to review what country we live in, the state, and the city, as well as the seven continents. In our book we are on ,”People Make a Difference”. We will continue on these units through the month of March as well.
BIBLE – We will continue with David and learn how God used him in spite of his sin.
PHYSICAL FITNESS TESTING – This will take place on 3/2 (Shuttle Run), 3/3 (Curl-Ups), 3/9 ((Sit and Reach), 3/16 (Mile Run), 3/17 (Pull, Push -Ups, Hang)
NEATNESS – We are focusing on making our work neat. I am showing samples of neat work. We are doing lots of encouragement in this area. I appreciate your support as we together emphasize how important neat and careful work is. Many thanks!
SPRING PICTURES – All children will be photographed on Tuesday, March 3rd. You do not need to send any money on Portrait Day. A proof will go home and if you so desire, you may order pictures at that time. There will not be retakes offered.
FCS AUCTION- The FCS auction is underway! This is our largest fundraising event each year. We are excited about setting our goals even higher than last year. The auction is a great way to donate to our school. Your donations will bless the lives of others. Our class will be doing a Swim Basket.There is a list of needed items outside our classroom door. However, you can bring anything that fits the theme of our basket. If there is too much for one basket, the items will be auctioned separately. I am hoping that each family will find that special something to donate to the auction. I would like to encourage you to support this event by giving or getting donations of services, trips, items, desserts, and/or dinner tickets. The dinner/silent and live auction will take place on Saturday, March 14th, from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the FCS Gym.
