Dear Parents,
We hope you had a wonderful weekend. This is another busy week for First Grade as we enjoy our field trip to the San Antonio Zoo on Wednesday, Nov. 13th.
In Literature, we will learn a new poem, The Little Turtle, for recitation. We will practice making predictions with our stories from Frog and Toad All Year.
In Math, we will continue in Chapter 5 focusing on strategies for subtraction within 20, including subtracting ones from a 2-digit number, subtracting from a ten and counting back to subtract.
In Science, we continue learning about the different habitats, focusing on ocean, arctic and wetland habitats.
This week also begins our season of 1000 gifts, and our students will attend an assembly during which Headmaster Mitchel will explain to our students how to be mindful of all we have to be thankful for. We look forward to watching our students actively pursue the virtue of gratefulness as we enter the busy holiday season.
We remain ever grateful for the gift of our students and families!
Go Griffins!
