Chalk Rocks

On Thursday, one of my students brought a large bag of chalk rocks. She had picked them up in the north part of the island. So, right before school ended, we all went outside to draw with the chalk rocks. We had a lot of fun drawing pictures all over the basket ball court. Here are some pictures!

Hi all!

I'm so sorry that this was not updated the last few weeks! Got caught up in the business of school and forgot about it. Since 1st quarter has successfully ended, I have made it my personal goal for 2nd quarter to keep the website updated.

Our last few weeks have been very busy but also filled with a lot of learning. In math, we learned about telling time to the hour and half and hour, as well as counting using tally's, pennies, and nickels. 

In reading, we learned about sequencing in stories making sure we know what happens in order of a story. We also learned about drawing conclusions, where I brought a bag in full of things about myself and the students had to draw conclusions from those items about what Ms. Turner was like. 

In science we learned about the fascinating life of ants, and the life cycle of a chicken. 

In Bible, we are moving right along with the story of Abraham, and Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Esau, and remembering all through it that God keeps His promises. 

We have grown together close as a class, learned what it means to be kind to each other, played hard at recess, and loved God with all of our hearts. 

I'm looking forward to all the joys that 2nd quarter will bring!

Blessings,

Ms. Turner

We have been having a fantastic time in 1st grade so far this year!!

This week, our reading story is about ants, so throughout the whole week, we will be learning about Ants! Today we listened to a story between a boy and an ant and decided, "Should the boy squish the ant?" Each student wrote their own opinion.

Somethings to remember:

I forgot to copy the homework for tonight! Sorry! If you want, you could have your child just practice their spelling words.

Also, picture day is September 25th! Please come to school dressed for your best. You are allowed to send your child with a change of clothes if you would like your child to change into more suitable clothes.

As always, please contact me with any questions! :)

Hi all!

I hope you had a great 3 day weekend! I sure did!

This week we will be continuing right along in our lessons, starting our first reading lesson for the year as well as continuing to be introduced to math, phonics, Bible, and language arts. The students are having a good time in chapel, P.E., art and their other specials!

Somethings to remember:

On the newsletter, for homework, it said that Tuesday night we would have "Short a" homework and "spelling" homework. We did not get to teaching the reading lesson today, so it will be moved to tomorrow.

Since this is the first week of spelling, we will just be doing a practice test and getting used to spelling words. 

Blessings,
Ms. Turner
