Dear Parents,

Please check your child's big envelope for information on how to log into Study Island.  Your child has learned how to use the program at school and can work on it at home. This is not mandatory but it is a really good program and the children enjoy doing it.

Cindy Hand  from Catholic Credit Union was here to teach about producer, consumer, spending, and saving money.

We have had a busy Christmas season and month of January.  The children have learned all their long vowel spellings and are now on their second soft backed reader.  Reading is moving at a very fast pace so be sure to have your child practice the word ring as much as possible.

In math we have learned the adding zero, adding on one, adding on two, and the doubles plus one.  These need to be memorized to ensure future success in math for your child.

Mrs. Smith has been teaching the kids about Martin Luther King and Kansas history.

In art we have made snowmen, snow children, and penguins.

In religion we are studying the miracles of Jesus and the four pillars of Stewardship.

Don't forget Jim Williams tonight from 6 to 7:30 in the new gym!

Fall Fun in First Grade!
