Mrs. Bernhardt's First Grade: August 25, 2023

This week we learned about how God created everything with just His Word.

I am so glad that God created each of the children in this class. I am having such a fun time getting to know them and their unique personalities. It definitely makes work fun when you have fun kids to be with all day. I already love your kid!

NO SCHOOL FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, Teachers will attend the St. Louis area Lutheran Schools Teacher's Conference.

NO SCHOOL MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 for Labor Day.

Don't forget to help remind your child to take the papers out of the KEEP AT HOME side of the folder. I try to have the Math paper in the red folder for you to look at and you will see some phonics and reading papers in the KEEP AT HOME side. Feel free to have your child read the stories at home. These are stories that should be able to be read independently!

I have sat with each child and worked with his/her on writing his/her first name correctly. This is with only the first letter capital and forming all the letters correctly.

In the Friday Folder I have a name assessment paper for you to see how I will assess the names next week.

You will see many papers this week. We are still doing most work ALL together and practicing our station work with part of it independent. DONT WORRY THIS WEEK if you see many papers with things marked wrong, keep in mind we doing work all together and we are still learning about how to do first grade work. I have graded the papers like I will grade them so you will know the expectations for next week.

Remind your child to pay attention and if I write something on the board they need to write it on their paper. Next week I will start having kids make corrections at school and/or fix the papers at home as additional homework if there isn't time at school.

This week our Spelling test (and next week our Math test) was done ALL together and I am not recording the grade. However I did grade it as if I was recording the grade so that you know how the test will be graded.

We finally have the confirmation from our second field trip. Please go to the link and let me know which field trips and parties at which you can help. Please let me know by next Friday. I will then assign parents to be chaperones and helpers. Each parent should be able to chaperone one field trip and attend one party. If I don't have enough parents sign up will have people help more. THANK YOU for your help!!!

This has been a great week, HOT but great.

Your children are doing such a good job of learning our classroom routines and beginning to do first grade work. Even with only one recess we made it through!
