Week: October 10


October fun….
On Monday, October 24th the first graders will take a field trip to the home of Judson Dunne to do some exploring on nearby nature trails. We will be investigating signs of season change.
We are looking for 2 or 3 parent volunteers who might be willing to come along and help out. If interested, please contact me. The trip will run
from 10:30am-2:00pm.Thank you! 

Notes: Hartland students do not have school on Tuesday, October 18th due to staff inservice.

What’s going on in the classroom?

Reading: 1C has been reading the Itsy Bitsy Spider as our shared reading for rhyming practice. If you get the chance, practice rhyming at home with your student!
We are still loving our class read-aloud: Charlotte’s Web !
Writing: Using the Itsy Bitsy Spider as a model, 1C students are creating their own Itsy Bitsy Spider rhyming books.
Spelling: “O” sounds and word identification (listening for “o” in the beginning and middle of words)
Math: 1C has been practicing counting on our hundreds charts and identifying
complements of 10. Keep up counting by 10’s, 5’s, and 2’s at home!
Science/Social Studies: We are wrapping up our spiders unit this week. 1C went on a spider hunt and sketch-we found lots of spiders on our playground. We have our very own “Charlotte” living outside of our classroom’s back door. Check out a picture on the class blog...
Specials: 1C made salsa with Mrs. Rodis in Spanish class!

Word of the week: “my”

Have a wonderful and safe weekend!
-Mrs. Craft
