Thank you to everyone who took the time to learn more about first grade in the Loon room! The loons were so excited to come in to your surprise notes (Mrs. Bellanger did any for the kids who didn't already have one). For those of you who were unable to attend I sent home a yellow folder with your child to share some information. Please return the contact sheet enclosed!

Some thing we did this week: 

• Learned about why we have school rules
• Practiced "scooping up" words while we read
• Worked on a new STEM project making a "just right" bed for Goldilocks
• Started working on word problems in math
• Made loon decorations for our classroom
• Worked on self portraits with labels to describe ourselves
• Introduced the iPads using the reading app Epic!

EARLY RELEASE DAY WEDNESDAY 9/27 AT 12:50

Some things to ask your child about:

• What did you use to build Goldilock's bed?
• What types of book do you like to read on Epic?
• What is the book The Invisible Boy about?
• What is Miss Rowley's FAVORITE classroom rule? ;) 
• What do you like to play with during choice time?
• What's your favorite math game? (Top-It, Penny Dice, Bunny Hop, Shake and Spill) 
• Can you teach me that game?
