First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of May 30, 2011

        We had a wonderful “Stone Soup” party last week!  Everyone brought their ingredient on time, and we prepared our soup together in the morning.  My rule is that all the students try at least one bite of the soup, and most really loved it.  It was quite a fun day.

        This will be the last week of homework and Spelling Tests.  We are still working hard reviewing and expanding on many subject areas.  All of the First Graders have done very well academically this year.  I am proud of the progress which was made.  They have grown physically, academically, socially, and spiritually and will continue learning and growing in second grade.  I love them all (which I tell them every day!), and I am much honored to have been part of their lives.  Several are getting kind of sad about leaving, but I tell them to come visit me often because I will be right next door!

        I also tell all of my First Graders that I would like them to write me cards or letters during the summer.  I say that if they do write me, I promise to write them back.  I still correspond with students who are now in high school!  Here is my mailing address:

        This Thursday will be our First Grade traditional “Stone Soup” party.  During our healthy eating unit in science, I always introduce the classic children’s story, “Stone Soup.”  It is a story about caring and sharing, as well as, preparing a delicious vegetable soup.  By the way, it does have stones in it!  Don’t worry; your first grader will explain everything Thursday afternoon!

        Your child has volunteered to bring a specific ingredient for our soup Thursday which is listed on the following letter.  Please do not cut, slice, or prepare your item in any way.  The children prepare everything, with supervision of course.  The other important aspect of this activity is that it is prepared first thing in the morning—please don’t forget to send in the item with your child’s homework.  We can not use it if it comes in at lunchtime!!!!  I don’t want anyone to be excluded so please remember to send it in the morning.  Also, I have no place to store anything so don’t send in your item until Thursday!

        Friday will be Free Dress for First Grade because we brought in the most Spell-A-Thon money!  We will also have board games and videos in the afternoon that day.

Monday:  Write Spelling Words List #32 five times each;

        Grammar—“Lasso Champ”

Tuesday:  Write Spelling Words List #32 three times each;

Dear First Grade Parents,

        On this Thursday, May 26, your First Grader will be making

“Stone Soup.”  This fun activity goes along with our healthy eating lessons we have been learning in science.

        According to the classic children’s story, everyone contributes to the soup, and we would like to do this as a class.

        Your child has volunteered to bring:

        Please have your child bring this item to school Thursday morning.  We will be preparing the soup the first thing so it will not work if you bring the item at lunchtime.  Please do not peel, slice, or in any way prepare this item.  We will do it together that morning.  We will be eating our “Stone Soup” later Thursday afternoon so your child will still need lunch for that day.

        This is a First Grade Tradition, and I thank you for your cooperation!!!

                                                        Mrs. Kondrack

        I hope everyone had a fun time at our wild and rainy FunFair!  Thank you again Ms. Rose for organizing our First Grade booth.  I worked in the Teachers’ booth so I didn’t get to see a lot of you; I hope everyone was on time and had a good time!

        According to the school calendar tutoring ends this week.  I have included a letter giving information about our O.L.A. Summer School.  I hope many of you will take advantage of this program to keep your new “second grader” on top of his/her skills during our long summer break.  Ms. Forbush will be conducting the primary summer program for the first time and Ms. Manel is taking a break.  I think it would be very beneficial for all of our new second graders to attend summer school and get acquainted with their new teacher!

        I also included a letter regarding our new science nutrition unit.  Next week you will be receiving information about our traditional “Stone Soup” party!  Please don’t worry, your First Grader will explain everything.

        Please remember to send in fresh flowers for the Mary statue all this month!  Also, continue to check the school calendar and Helpful Reminders for important end-of-the-year activities.

        Thank you all for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week!!!  I love all of my gifts, and I am especially grateful for the new CD player!  The last one I had gave out during rehearsal for our P.T.G. program last February, and this new one is fantastic!!!  Thank you to all who helped Ms. Rose purchase this for me.  The lunch provided by the School/P.T.G. Board and Room Parents was fantastic!!!!  I also really loved my huge bouquet of flowers!!  Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

        Several of you joined us for Mass and the May Crowning last Friday.  It was a beautiful event and our Mary statue looked wonderful.  If you can, periodically send in more flowers during this month as we honor Mary the mother of Jesus.
