Dear Families,
We had a wonderful time last Monday listening to all the poems from the finalists in Grades 1-3. Congratulations to all who were chosen to represent FCS at Peach Blossom next month. Sydney Hazelton was chosen from our class.
This will be a short week academically as we will have noon dismissal each day. I so look forward to meeting with each of you to share about your child’s progress in First Grade at conference time.
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES – Elementary conferences are scheduled for the week of Feb. 2-6. School is dismissed at 12:00 PM each day during this week. If you need to change your appointment time, please call Kerry Roberts at 299-1695, ext. 103.
READING – The children are becoming quite independent with their reading and their skill development work. We continue to work on comprehension and now, putting expression in their voices when they read to make it more interesting.
WRITING – We continue to focus on writing a narrative about ourself, incorporating adjectives to dress up and make our writing more interesting.
MATH – We will start Chapter 7 which covers money. You can practice at home counting coins which will be helpful to your child. Start with the coin with the highest value. We are practicing at school counting by 10’s, starting with 5.
BIBLE – We will study Samuel.
VALENTINE’S PARTY– We will celebrate on Friday, Feb. 13th. Our party will be from 1:00PM – 2:20 PM. The children will exchange valentines with one another. Please be sure your child brings a valentine for everybody. A class list of names will come home in the Monday Envelopes, however, if later on you need another one, just let me know.
SHOW AND TELL – This week will be Team A.
CANDY GRAM FUNDRAISER – The California Junior Scholarship Federation (an organization promoting scholarship for service) at Fresno Christian Junior High is conducting its annual Candy Gram fundraiser. The money collected will be used for books for a local group in the Fresno area. We will be selling the candy grams for $1 beginning Tuesday, February 3 and ending at 3 P.M. on Thursday, February 12, 2015. The candy grams will be distributed on Friday, February 13, 2015. If you pay by check, make them payable to Fresno Christian Schools and indicate CJSF on the memo line. If you or your child wish to purchase any candy grams, you may ask your child’s teacher for forms, or call the high school office (299-1695 ext. 4), and Mrs. Belmont will see that you get the forms you need.
PHYSICAL FITNESS TRAINING – Mrs. Whipple has begun preparing our First Graders for the Physical Fitness Testing which is in March. Please remember to wear tennis shoes each Tuesday and Thursday to avoid any injuries. Thanks!
