First grade : November 30

December already!  It’s going to be a busy month.  We’ll be learning all about Advent and spending 
time daily lighting our wreath and saying prayers.
We’re also starting a unit on magnets and geometry.  Students need to know shapes, (square, 
rectangle) solids, (sphere, cube), and fractions (1/2, 1/4).  My students always love these units!

*** We do not have a first grade mass on December 17- it’s been moved to January. ***
My oldest daughter Kelsie is having surgery in December and I will be out of the classroom from 
Dec. 14 –18.  During that time Barb Adams will substitute.  Please keep Kelsie and our family in your 
prayers.  If all goes well I will return on the 21st.  Our classroom party will be Tuesday, December 22.  
It’s going to be a sledding party.  Students do not exchange gifts in first grade.

Homework:
Our spelling rule is short u.
cub   hug   bug   cut   gum  cup  luck   fun  run     red word:

Monday: study for spelling, read math story.
Tuesday:  library today.  Look for a bag of books to come home!
Have your child complete the enclosed addition math fact sheet.  Time them for two minutes.  We are 
working on math fluency.  Draw a square around the last problem completed in two minutes- then 
have your child complete the entire page.
Wednesday:  We visit the Secret Santa shop today!!!!  Send in your envelope if your child is shopping.  
It’s always nice to indicate whether your child can shop for him/herself.  
Thursday:  mass today- 
Friday:  return folder.  St. Nicholas Day is Sunday, Dec. 6.  We’ll be putting out our shoes for him to 
fill!            Mrs. Marlowe

Homework folders:

Homework folders are sent home on Monday.  Each 
day of the week has a recommended lesson.  The beauty of homework 
folders is that as long as the work is done during the week, it doesn't 
really matter what day you do it!  For example, if Monday says to 
complete a math page, but you have hockey practice, complete the page 
on Tuesday instead.  Be careful to look for occasional items that are due by a 
certain time of the week though.

Another benefit of homework folders is that parents can modify the 
assignment by making it more challenging.  First I suggest you talk to me, then we can discuss ways 
to make homework more beneficial to your child.

Homework folders are due on Friday, but can be returned sooner if all 
work is completed.

Friday folders:  Friday folders come home every Friday and contain 
corrected work and papers from the office.  They are to be returned empty on Monday.  Please look 
over each paper to be sure it's actually your child's paper, whether 
corrections need to be made,  and to become familiar with our 
curriculum.

Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
