First Grade News
Dear Parents,
We hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend. .
Please take note that, the Simple Machine Project is due Friday, March 13th. Scholars will present their projects on Friday.
In Literature this week, we will wrap up Aesop's Fables, recite The Swing poem on Wednesday the 4th, and continue reading Owl at Home.
In Math, we will continue in Chapter 9, addition and subtraction skills for numbers up to 120. This week, we will focus on adding 2-digit and 1-digit numbers with and without renaming (carrying the one).
In History, we will begin our unit on the American Revolution, focusing on taxation and the Boston Tea Party. (Shhh, this next bit is a surprise!) This week, scholars will be visited by King George III's British soldiers (our fifth-grade sister classes) and ordered to pay taxes. The colonists of First Grade will soon understand the frustration the American colonists felt over 200 years ago. Please send 50 pennies to school marked with your scholar's name if you can. We will return them to you at the end of the unit.
Thank you so much for your continued support and partnership. Have a wonderful week.
Go Griffins!
