Mrs. Barlow’s Class Please view our daily blog for information on student learning and upcoming events. 

Parent Orientation tonight at 5:30!

Spelling Review tomorrow.  Words are on pg. 23 of your child’s planner.  We made connections to the words and that work is in your child’s folder.  We looked at parts of words and wrote words that had that same part.

We also are working this week on joining sets to find the sum of an addition problem.

Please read every evening and at least once on the weekend.  Thanks for your help!

Parent Orientation will be Monday, September 24, 2012 from 5:30 – 6:30.  Please make plans to attend.  You will hear and see very important information about your child’s first grade year.  We will discuss grading, behavior, attendance, and all core subjects.  I know you will find this information important and it will help you help your child have a successful year.

Fall Pictures will be held on Wednesday, September 26, 2012.

Have a great weekend!  Please read!

We created our own math story problem today.  We are learning addition.  We learned that when you join two parts together you get a sum.

We worked a little more on the word you today.  We needed to continue practice on this word so we did not have our spelling review.  We will have it on Monday!  Thanks!

Please continue practice on these words.  If they can read it they can write it!

Have an awesome weekend!

Ask me about Julias!

We read a book called Julius The Baby of the World!  We learned the genre was fantasy!

Ladybug Blog Spot!

What is 1 + 4?

Tomorrow we will have a Chapter 1 Mid Chapter Check.  I will be assessing how well they are understanding how to read a pattern, extend a pattern, and problem solve and correct a mistake in a pattern.  I will also be checking their understanding of counting and writing numbers to 20.  Please take a few minutes to ask your child about what all of these things are for a quick review tonight!  I know they will do great!

Please continue to read each night!  It is so important to practice reading because it helps us with every subject!

I am attaching a picture of our First Grade 1st 6 Weeks Writing Rubric!  We are working very hard in writing and I wanted you to know the things I am teaching and will be assessing this six weeks.  We will practice and I will take a grade on a piece of their writing the last week of this six weeks.  After this six weeks we will have two graded writing pieces for each six weeks.

Our writer’s sometimes get “Writers’ Block”!  Please talk with your child about and assure them that anything they do can be turned into a story!  When your family goes on an adventure (even to the store) talk with them about the following:

who (characters) went

where (setting) did you go

when (setting) did you go there

what (events or a problem that may have happened)

 how did you solve the problem or how did you feel about the adventure (solution)

This will help them when they can’t think of anything to write!

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!
