August 22nd - August 26th

What a wonderful first week together!  Thank you for helping make our first week together go so smoothly!  We are off to a great start! 

Calendar

August 31st - Fall School Pictures

September 1st - Curriculum Night 5:30 in room A104, Mrs. Sork's classroom. 

September 5th - No School (Labor Day)

September 9th - Special Friends Day

Look at what we will be learning next week: 

Math 

Next week we will learn to subitize (instantly recognize a group of objects).  For example, when you see three dots, you do not have to count each individual dot.  Instead, you instantly know that there are three dots.  This is called subitizing. 

Fun videos to watch with your child: 

Language Arts 

Spelling/Phonics - We will review beginning and ending sounds. 

Reading - We will begin to talk about the wonders of reading and what a reader looks like.

Writing - We will review the attributes of writing a good sentence. 

Social Studies  

 We will be learning about the purpose for rules and laws in the home, school, and community!!

Science 

We will be learning about what scientists do and the tools they use.  We will also talk about each child getting to be Scientist of the Week!!!

Announcements:

Thank you to all parents and families for helping our first week run smoothly!  We are enjoying making new friends and learning the routines of first grade.  If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.  Email is the best way to get a hold of us.  If it's a general question, please email your homeroom teacher.  If it's a question specific to an academic area, please email the teacher that teaches that subject.  We are so excited to partner with you in your child's learning. 

Mrs. Sork:  msork@coppellisd.com  (Mrs. Sork teaches math to all of the first grade)

Mrs. Vincenzo:  lvincenzo@coppellisd.com    (Mrs. Vincenzo teaches language arts to all of the first grade) 

Mrs. McCullough: jmccullough@coppellisd.com (Mrs. McCullough teaches science and social studies to all of the first grade.  She also will be taking them to the library each week.) 

DISMISSAL -- If you change the way your child goes home at the end of the day, you will need to email your teacher.  Children will be sent home their "usual" way unless we hear directly from a parent.  Also, please make sure that the teacher has responded to your email to ensure that we got the message.  If you don't hear back from your teacher, please call the office to let them know about dismissal changes. 

Celebrations & Birthday Treats

We will celebrate your child’s birthday with a spotlight on our daily school-wide

announcements and a goody bag from the school that contains several items, including a

coupon for a free treat in the cafeteria. This allows each child to be recognized on their

special day and hopefully takes a little off your plate as parents, knowing you do not need

to provide treats for that day. If you choose to send birthday food treats to school, they will

need to be in their original packaging that lists ingredients. These will be sent home with learners at the end of the day for them to enjoy at home.


Photos From The Week
Next week we will start adding photos of our sweet first graders.  These pictures will highlight activities that we did throughout the week and highlight our precious first graders.  Pictures can only be shared of learners whose parents have selected "ALL" on their child's disclosure statement.  If you selected "PRINTED PUBLICATIONS ONLY" or "NONE", we are not allowed to include photos of your child.  If you would like to change your child's disclosure choice so they can be included in the photos (or you can't remember what you option you chose), please email Lfairchild@coppellisd.com.  Thanks so much!  We can't wait to share pictures of our days!!!
