4/7/18-4/11/18
I hope you all enjoyed the sun this weekend! What beautiful weather. As always, please have your kiddo dress for the weather. I always recommend a jacket just in case the weather goes south.
We have swimming all week. Please remember to have your child pack a swimsuit, towel, dry bag and goggles (optional). Girls will need a hair tie. Because we have swimming all week, I am not going to send home book baggies. I would much rather have the kiddos get a good night’s rest and be well prepared for the following day. Between swimming, our research projects and starting a new unit in math…the kiddos are going to be tired by the end of the day. At this point in the year, it is more important they are getting enough sleep! Thank you for your help with this! I would still like to encourage each student to keep reading at home. They can choose a fun book from home or read their library books! J Book baggies will start up, again, next week.

Our Week at a Glance
1/29/18-2/2/18
I would like to thank all of you who joined us for a fun day in the Park, last week! What a fun day! I will share pictures with all of you via email. Here’s to another fun week of first grade! It’s hard to believe that February 12th is the 100th day of school! Please start thinking of 100 small items that your child can bring to school on (or before) this day. The items need to be the same object and should fit in a small sack. Examples: 100 paper clips, 100 chocolate chips, 100 rubber bands, 100 cheerios, 100 Legos, etc. Have your kiddo count out the 100 items (we have been counting by tens and fives in class so this might be one way for them to organize their counts), put them in a small, opaque sack, and brainstorm 3 clues to help us guess what the items are. Have fun with this and try to stump us! J We will also be dressing up like we are 100 years old! This will be a fun activity to help us compare and contrast.
LOOKING AHEAD…. We will have our Valentine’s Day party on Wednesday, February 14th from 11:15-12:15! You are all invited…the more the merrier! In case your child would like to get a head start on their Valentines, I have attached a list of ALL student names. If you would like to volunteer to bring in fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese and crackers, drinks, etc. for our Valentine’s Day party, please let me or Amber Chapman know! You can email her at aljones31@yahoo.com. THANK YOU in advance!

Por favor, comience a pensar en 100 pequeños artículos que su hijo puede llevar a la escuela (o antes) este día. Los artículos deben ser el mismo objeto y deben caber en un pequeño saco. Ejemplos: 100 clips de papel, 100 chips de chocolate, 100 gomas elásticas, 100 cheerios, 100 legos, etc. Haga que su hijo cuente los 100 elementos (hemos contado por decenas y cincos en clase, así que esta podría ser una forma de hacerlo organice sus conteos), colóquelos en un pequeño saco opaco y haga una lluvia de ideas con 3 pistas para ayudarnos a adivinar cuáles son los artículos. ¡Diviértete con esto y trata de detenernos! ¡También nos vestiremos como si tuviéramos 100 años! Esta será una actividad divertida para ayudarnos a comparar y contrastar.
MIRANDO HACIA ADELANTE .... Tendremos nuestra fiesta del Día de San Valentín el miércoles, 14 de febrero de 11: 15-12: 15! Todos están invitados ... cuantos más, mejor! En caso de que a su hijo le gustaría tener una ventaja en sus tarjetas de San Valentín, he adjuntado una lista de TODOS los nombres de los estudiantes. Si desea ser voluntario para traer frutas frescas, vegetales, queso y galletas saladas, bebidas, etc. para nuestra fiesta del Día de San Valentín, ¡por favor avísenos a Amber Chapman oa Amber Chapman!

Our Week at a Glance

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Because it is a short week AND we have our snowshoeing field trip, there will be no book baggies. At this point in the year, I would rather the kiddos get a good night’s rest! However, please keep up the great reading at home. J
For our field trip…. each student will need the Big 5, (snow pants, coat, hat, gloves, and boots) a lunch, snack and a water bottle. The day will be split into a scavenger hunt at the Visitor’s Center and a snowshoe excursion to the Snake River. We would love to have parents join us, if you’re available. We will be gone from 9:00-2:00. Fingers crossed for good weather! Please note- we go rain or shine. Please plan and dress accordingly. Thank you for your help with this! J

We had a great start to first grade, last week! I am enjoying getting to know each of your kiddos. They seem like a really sweet group! We have 16 students in our class and we are lucky to have Ms. Kelle with us (for 30min) during our morning literacy block. This week we will continue to learn about each other and review our classroom routines and expectations. We will also talk about how to organize our library and begin conversations on how to choose a good fit (just right) book. We will also be diving into our first few math lessons! Similar to last year, there will be no assigned homework. However, starting the end of this month/ first week of October, I will be sending home a book baggie and reading log every week. If you and your child feel you would like a math packet to work on at home, I am happy to accommodate! Just let me know. You can email me at eleeds@tcsd.org. ***I will discuss this more in depth at “back to school night” this Thursday from 6-7pm.
Schedule for this week: Please note our “specials” will change every week. Here is this week’s schedule.
Monday: ART
Tuesday: COMPUTER
Wednesday: SPANISH

Esta semana vamos a seguir aprendiendo unos sobre otros y revisar nuestras rutinas y expectativas en el aula.

Al igual que el año pasado, no habrá tareas asignadas. Sin embargo, a partir del final de este mes / primera semana de octubre, voy a enviar a casa un libro baggie y lectura de registro cada semana. ¡Si usted y su niño sienten que usted quisiera que un paquete de la matemáticas trabajara encendido en el país, estoy feliz acomodar!

Dear Families,
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year! I am looking forward to working with your children and building a strong relationship with each of you. We are very lucky to have Kelle Morris working in our class as a literacy para; she will be with our class every morning for about 30 minutes. This week we will be doing many community-building activities focusing on our names.
Reading will be the focus throughout the year. The classroom will be a language rich environment in which the students can learn. For literacy, we will be using a Lucy Calkins reading and writing program along with our district reading standards and a spelling program called Words Their Way (more information to come)! For handwriting we will use Handwriting Without Tears, which you may remember from Kindergarten. We will also be using the Engage New York math program. This approach to math supports students in developing the ability to understand and explain their use of procedures when problem solving.
We will discuss math and reading homework further on back to school night on September 14th from 6-7pm.
This year we are fortunate to be part of the fresh fruit and veggies program again. Each day your child will have the opportunity to have a fresh snack provided with grant money. However, if your child would like to bring their own snack, they are welcome to do so. Our snack time will be in the afternoon, this year, due to lunch being on the early side (10:45am).
We will be participating in the school-wide Positive Behavior System. Students will clearly know the expectations: be safe, be respectful, be responsible, and be friendly. Great behavior will be rewarded with special "gotchya tickets” (similar to bee tickets).
Please feel free to contact me anytime with question or concerns. You can reach me by email eleeds@tcsd.org or phone 733-9651.. Check out our classroom web page at www.msleeds.weebly.com
Sincerely,
Ellery Leeds
P.S. To make all of our lives easier, please try to have your kiddos keep valuable items and toys at home. Thanks in advance for your help!
Estimadas familias:
¡Bienvenidas al año escolar 2017-2018! Estoy ansiosa por trabajar con sus hijos y por llevar una buena relación con cada uno de ustedes. Somos muy afortunados de tener a Lisa Ryan trabajando en nuestra clase como un para la alfabetización ; ella estará con nuestra clase cada mañana hasta el recreo.Esta semana haremos muchas actividades relacionadas con la comunidad y nos enfocaremos en nuestros nombres.
Nuestro enfoque durante el año escolar será la lectura. El salón de clases tendrá un ambiente con lenguaje enriquecido en donde los alumnos podrán aprender. En el alfabetismo, usaremos un programa de lectura y escritura llamado Lucy Calkins, junto con nuestros estándares de lectura del distrito y un programa de ortografía llamado Words Their Way (del cual pronto enviaré más información). Para la caligrafía usaremos Handwriting Without Tears, que creo recordarán del Kinder. También usaremos el programa de matemáticas Engage New York. Este enfoque de matemáticas apoya a los alumnos en el desarrollo de la capacidad para entender y explicar el uso de los procedimientos en la resolución de un problema.
Nuestra rutina de tareas de matemáticas empezará la próxima semana y la de lectura alrededor de tres semanas. Mientras tanto, los alumnos llevarán a casa un fólder de plástico que contiene información mía o de la escuela. Por favor revisen este fólder cada tarde y comuníquense conmigo mediante notas que pueden poner en este fólder ya que yo lo revisaré cada mañana.
Este año somos muy afortunados al tener de nuevo el programa con frutas frescas y verduras. Cada día, su hijo(a) tendrá la oportunidad de comer un bocadillo fresco, gracias al dinero de una donación. Sin embargo, si su hijo(a) quisiera traer su propio bocadillo, lo puede hacer. Ellos lo comerán antes de su clase de especiales (vean el horario adjunto), aunque a la mejor comeremos algo más temprano si lo necesitan, especialmente a principios del año.
Participaremos en el programa PBS (Sistema de Comportamiento Positivo). Los alumnos entenderán claramente lo que se espera de ellos: ser cuidadosos, respetuosos, responsables y amigables. Recibirán “boletos de abejas” si tienen buen comportamiento. También usaremos un sistema de tarjetas positivo en donde sus hijos tendrán la oportunidad de obtener una tarjeta de un nuevo color y “viajar por el arcoiris” como premio por su buen comportamiento. Cuando pasen por el azul, verde, amarillo y rojo, ellos recibirán una estrella y tendrán la oportunidad de escoger un premio de la caja del tesoro.
Por favor contáctense conmigo si tuvieran cualquier pregunta o preocupación. Pueden enviarme un correo electrónico a eleeds@tcsd.org o bien llamarme al 733-9651. También pueden ver mi página web: Con cariño. www.msleeds.weebly.com
