Thanks to everyone who came to Literacy Night on Thursday, it was a great turn out! The kids all looked like they were having fun, and we snuck some literacy in there too! In our classroom this week, we have learned about finding the main idea and details in nonfiction books, began planning opinion paragraphs, started composing and decomposing two-digit numbers, and began our plans for our big science project for sound and light. Check out our Facebook page for daily updates, and continue reading for important upcoming events!

Fun Fair Basket

Our classroom needs your help to have the BEST silent auction basket for the Fun Fair which will be taking place at Prairie Crest on Saturday, February 11th from 11:00-2:00.

Our classroom theme for this year’s basket is “Movie Night.” We are looking for donations for our basket centered around this theme. Please sign up for an item and bring it to school by this Friday February 3rd.

What is the Fun Fair? Students and their family and friends get to enjoy games, prizes, scavenger hunts, and classroom competition. The event is also a major fundraising event for Crest PTO by raising money through raffles and auctions.

The money that is raised from this goes to financially support your child’s field trips, classroom supplies, building security and equipment, playground equipment, and to school events such as the Fun Fair.

Sight Words

Students will be learning the following first grade sight words next week.

Please practice reading and writing these sight words each night with your

child. Our goal is for students to be able to read the words quickly without

trying to sound them out. Students can also practice these sight words through

fun games and activities at the following website:
