Caroling in the Hallways

Your first grade child will be caroling in the hallways during music class on Thursday, December 17th at 1:30 pm.  Parents are welcome to join us and sing along.  If you would like to dismiss your child after the assembly, please send a note to the office.

Homes for Animals

The science center is looking for homes for box turtles and a snapping turtle over Winter Vacation. 

The science center will provide cage, food, bedding, and care sheet for each animal.  Call Ms. Wendy Pavlicek at 781-270-2928 if interested.  Animals are distributed on a first come, first serve basis. All animals must be picked up by making an appointment with Ms. Pavlicek.

Personal Narratives

For the past month, our class has been learning about Personal Narratives.  We have read many, and even wrote some of our own.  The first personal narrative we wrote was about the school reward we earned in October.  For the second Personal Narrative, kids chose to write about their own experience.  Here are the features of a great Personal Narative.

- It has a title

- It has a beginning, middle, and end

- Events are in order

- It has a narrator

- The word "I" is used a lot

- It has good, detailed sentences

book orders

It was so nice meeting with everyone during conferences.  Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come discuss your child's progress.

Just a reminder that Scholastic Book orders are due today.  Please send me a note if the books you purchased are gifts for your child that you want to keep a surprise.

Class Prize!!

Scholastic Book Orders

Last call for Scolastic book orders.  I will be placing the order tomorrow afternoon. Thank you for helping our class earn free books for our classroom library!!  I will be sending a new flyer home in December. 

1st Grade Homework Starts Today

Can you believe it is October 5th already?! That means homework starts today.  I sent an extra Homework BINGO sheet home with each child in case you cannot locate your copy given at Back to School Night.  Math pages 1-1 and 1-2 can be found in the Commom Core are teaching and Practice workbook that went home at Back to School Night.  Please tear them out and return them with the BINGO sheet on Friday. 

I have also sent home information on how to use ST Math at home.  I sent home a school ID and password just in case you need it. However, I'm hoping you shouldn't need to use it. 

Any questions? Please email me at kristenfarrell@bpsk12.org.

Library Reminder

Just a reminder to please return library books on Monday if you haven't already.  Thank you and happy reading!
