1B Weekly News
Happy Summer!!!
He is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed! I CANNOT believe 1st grade is finished!! Thank you so much for entrusting me with your child! I have sent home a "folder" with extra papers and books for your child. He/She may complete them throughout the summer. I do not want/need them back, but it is simply a way to keep your child's skills sharp throughout the summer. We will collect offerings on Mondays. Our offering for May will go to Tirzah Krey, a missionary serving in the Latin American and the Caribbean Region. Our school has lots of Fund raising opportunities! The office sells Scrip, which are gift cards to retailers to use like cash. You get the amount that you pay for, but the school gets a percentage back on the sale. BoxTops (you can enter your receipt online and earn money for the school) and Amazon Smile are also ways for ILS to earn money. Thanks for all the support! I collect poptabs, which are taken to Riley Children's Hospital. They are converted to help families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House. In His service, Mrs. Bell
Religion
We will learn about the start of the Church and Paul's ministry.

We wrote at least 5 sentences about our memories of first grade. We completed our reading book! Make sure your take opportunities to read all summer. I saw the "BookIt" program was up and running. And the Jackson Public Library gave us bookmarks with the QR code to register for the summer reading program, too. HOMEWORK (for the night of):

We have learned so much. We have learned fact families, addition, subtraction, double digit addition, column addition, double digit subtraction, time to the minute, money, 2-D and 3-D shapes, fractions, skip counting (which translates into multiplication), counting to 1,000, tally marks, place value, months, days of the week, graphing, and so much more.
