Google Classroom Reminder :
Please help your student log into their email account. You can find the log in info on the back of their take-home folder under computer log-in. Go to Gmail and then log in using their username@hpsstudents.net and then type the password. In their email, I have sent them an invitation to log into our Google Classroom. There, you can see our weekly slides- helpful if your student is absent. We also have one practice assignment there. All about Me Slides. Please help your child to complete this at your earliest convenience. We will use it to highlight your child when he/she is star student. 
Celebrations:
First Grade Family Time – Every Friday, all of the first graders at Georgetown get together for a little assembly! At the assembly, we celebrate our learning and birthdays from the week. We also give awards for the quote of the week, lost teeth, and shoe tying.
This week the quote was- “The only way to have a friend is to be a friend.” Emmie was the student who showed us what this quote means this week. We also celebrated lost teeth from Cambry, Brayden, Lucy, and Jack. We are excited to see if anyone can join the shoe-tying club this week.

Our Learning:
Word Study- We practiced snapping, clapping, and stomping the beats (syllables) in words and then blending the beats back together smoothly. We also played a game where we practiced changing the first sound (phoneme) in our classmates’ names!
Reading– We started reader’s workshop this week by talking about how to be a “book buddy” instead of a “book bully” and practiced book shopping from our classroom library!
Math – This week’s math lessons focused on number formation, making partners of 10, and skip counting by 2’s and 5’s.
Technology – We learned how to log into the school computers with our usernames and passwords! We explored some word games on ABCYa
Social & Emotional – We met Mr. Penguin, a stuffed penguin who will help us talk about our emotions throughout this school year! We brainstormed lots of different emotions and learned how to use our daily “Feelings Check-In” calendars. We also do a feelings circle each morning during our morning meeting!
