As you know Mouse made it home, and we learned about each continent while he was on his adventure. The students will be assessed on continents and oceans later this week. This unit can be difficult for some students especially locating the five oceans: Arctic, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Southern. Please review with you child. Below are come websites that might help. Thanks for your continued support!
Continents and Oceans (no need to worry about Oceania)

READ, READ, READ! Your child benefits greatly from reading everyday! Whether it is five minutes or five hours, every little bit helps improve their love for reading and reading ability. Find what topics, characters, or genres of books your child LOVES. Check them out of the library or buy the books. Investing in your child's lifeskill of reading is something you will never regret! And remember, your child can learn A LOT from listening to you read aloud as well! As Thomas Jefferson once said, "I cannot live without books." TOGETHER we hope to instill that in your child!

Student must write with capital letters and periods in the correct place. This is often difficult for first graders to do AS they write. PLEASE have your child edit their work. They should locate every uppercase letter and determine if it is in the correct place. They should correct the mistake. Your child should do the same with periods.
