Greetings First Grade Families,
It's been a great week in first grade! In ELA your children have enjoyed learning about how good readers think about what they are reading to deepen their understanding of a text. We have had fun identifying pronouns standing in the place of nouns, and the teachers look forward to listening to the students deliver their poem next week. In Math we began the heavy lifting of using place value to add and subtract numbers to 20, with a focus on bundling and breaking tens to regroup. We are exploring the early inhabitants of our continent in History, and we look forward to beginning our exploration of energy and electricity in Science next week.
Next week also begins our season of 1000 gifts, and students will attend an assembly during which Headmaster Keffer will exhort students to be mindful of all we have to thankful for. We look forward to watching our students actively pursue the virtue of gratefulness as we enter the busy holiday season.
The "Upcoming Events" section below has been updated through the end of January, so please be sure to take a look at this useful information.
We remain ever grateful for the gift of our students and families!

Q2 W2 November 2-6, 2020
Last week was such an exciting one! A big THANK YOU goes out to everyone who donated their time and talents to help us celebrate the end of our Ancient Egypt Unit. Our scholars had a wonderful time remembering all the unique and beautiful things we discovered together about Egypt. Ending the week with our annual day of reading and Character Dress-Up Day was the cherry on top!
