The students will continue to observe their mealworms and keep records of the changes in their behaviors and appearance.  Last week we noticed that many of our mealworms (the larva stage) changed into their pupa stage.  One student already has an adult!\r\n\r\n <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Notes and Reminders: </span></strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Thank you very much to Tayen’s mom, Julian’s mom and Lila’s mom for joining us on our trip last week to the Forest Preserve!</li>\r\n	<li>Now that it is getting warm, I recommend that you send a water bottle to school with your student.</li>\r\n	<li>Mrs. Schmidt, the Latin teacher, sent home a purple note last week regarding the Latin Gala.  If your child would like to participate please complete the form and turn them in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">no later than this Thursday, June 3<sup>rd</sup>.</span></li>\r\n	<li>The BOOK TRADE is this Friday, June 4<sup>th</sup>.  Students can bring the books that they would like to sell to the library this week between 8:30 and 9:00.  They will receive Book Bucks, which they can use to buy new books at the Book Trade.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Questions to ask at home:</span></strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Practice multiplication and division fact families using the Triangles that have been sent home as Home Links.

I hope that you were warm last week and did not suffer the adversities of the cold weather.\nLast week we turned the Assignment Sheets and the students got their grades for progress report. For the most part it was a success but still there are some students that need to turn some assignments in to improve their grades.\nDuring this week and after winter break I am going to contact the parents/guardians of those students that have assignments to turn in to let them know that the child needs extra efford and they can still turn those missing assignments. Also, this week students will receive the new assignment sheet where they, you and me will monitor the working process of the students.\nThis week we have the Winter Holiday and two classes are performing Mexican dances; my class is 301 and I am pretty sure thatt they are going to enjoy a lot and perform like real professional dancers, I can\'t wait to see the smiles in their faces while they dance. !Buena suerte para ellos!\nWinter break is a time to relax, enjoy the company of the love ones and time to watch movies too and there is where the students can still be connected with the Spanish language; I recommend that your child watch some movies in Spanish, if you can\'t get real movies in the target language you can change the set up of the dvd and put the Spanish option on; normaly you get subtitles in English and the speaking is in Spanish; I do really recommend this activity as a way of being in touch with the language. \n!Perfecto! Espero que tengan unos días muy felices en companía de los seres queridos y nos vemos a la vuelta de las vacaciones. !Disfruten mucho de la vida!\nI hope you have very happy days with your love ones and we will see after  vacations. Enjoy life a lot!\n\n!Felices Fiestas!\n\nAtentamente,  \n\nMr. Martín\n\n','!

Also, please do not sent the money separate from the form... both should be together in an envelope marked with your child’s name and room number.\r\n<h2>Announcements</h2>\r\n<em>Next Wednesday is International Walk and Bike to School Day</em><em>!  The students are encouraged to find an alternative to driving to school on October 7<sup>th</sup></em><em>!</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Room 114 is in need of baby wipes and colorful rubber bands (for our Geo-Boards).  Thanks in advance!</em>\r\n<h2>Birthdays</h2>\r\nGael – 4<sup>th</sup>\r\n\r\nLily – 21st\r\n<h2>Thank Yous</h2>\r\nThank you to the parents who volunteered to chaperone our field trip – you helped to make it a success!\r\n\r\nThank you to all of the parents who continue to send snacks and supplies.\r\n\r\nThank you to this week’s guest readers and to those who volunteer in the lunchroom, your efforts are much appreciated!\r\n\r\nemrosa@cps.edu','Ms. Rosa’s First Grade Newsletter Oct. 2, 2009','','inherit','open','closed','','16-revision-3','','','2009-10-21 17:14:38','2009-10-21 22:14:38','',16,'http://emrosa.cuipblogs.net/?p=38',0,'revision','',0),(39,164,'2009-09-28 21:43:32','2009-09-29 02:43:32','<strong>Dear Families,</strong>\r\n\r\nSo long, Week 2!  As we all get to know one another better, I feel we are inching closer to becoming that “well-oiled machine” every teacher dreams of.  We had a very busy wee k and we will work even harder next week so please be sure your student is getting the appropriate amount of rest at night.\r\n<h2>This Week, We Learned</h2>\r\nThis week, we began reading a chapter book called Ally Cat Takes Over First Grade and are learning how hurtful bullies can be.\r\n\r\nIn phonics, we continued our Fountas and Pinnel program and spoke a bit more about what we know about text and its properties.\r\n\r\nIn math, we continued with the Everyday Math by focusing on the classroom’s daily routines (day counting, calendar, weather, etc.) and discussing how to complete each routine and why they were important to us in first grade.\r\n\r\nIn science, we introduced our Solids, Liquids, and Gases unit by making some observations about and categorizing everyday objects.\r\n<h2>Next Week, We Will</h2>\r\nNext week, we will continue with our phonics, math, science, and art while introducing Writing Workshop and  a routine called “The Daily Five” – part of our balanced literacy program.\r\n\r\n<strong>Please consider donating to our project listed at DonorsChoose.org!</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>The project ID is:  302565</strong>\r\n<h2>reminders</h2>\r\nPlease send snack for our class if you have not already.  Thank you to all of the families who did this week.  It was a great help!\r\n\r\nClass fees are due as soon as possible.

I really enjoyed having the opportunity to speak to you one-on-one and to get to know your families better. \r\n<h2>This Week, We Learned</h2>\r\nThis week we read <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The King’s Equal</span>.  The story is about a vein and selfish prince who is humbled when challenged to find a wife as intelligent, wealthy, and good-looking as he thinks he is.  Ask your child to tell you about it!\r\n\r\nIn Math, we explored the dime.  We learned which president was on the face, how much it was worth, how many you could trade for a dollar, and how it can be used in comparison to nickels and pennies.\r\n\r\nDuring Phonics, we played a great game called Phonics Relay, where members of a team take turns completing a phonics “quiz.”  It was amazing to see how well everyone performed with the encouragement of their peers!\r\n<h2>Next Week, We Will</h2>\r\nNext week Wednesday, we will take our <strong>Unit 3 Math Assessment</strong>.  Please take time to practice at home. The topics covered will be: sums of 10, frames and arrows, counting coins, patterns, and time to the half hour.\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Visit our Blog!</strong></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>http://emrosa.cuipblogs.net</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Reminders</h2>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Thanksgiving Break falls from </strong><strong>11/25/09</strong><strong> to </strong><strong>11/19/09</strong><strong>.</strong></p>\r\n\r\nWe have a <strong>Field Trip</strong> to the Health Museum on Monday. Please send in written permission and fees if you have not already.  Also, students must bring a bagged lunch (clearly labeled).\r\n\r\nIt is really getting chilly outside!  Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately so they will be protected from the elements during their two recesses.\r\n\r\nWe had a very low <strong>Snack</strong> turn out for November and are now rationing leftovers and odds-and-ends.  Please be prepared to send snack for December.  We have a long day and the kids could really use the boost.\r\n<h2> </h2>\r\n<h2>Announcements</h2>\r\n<em>Room 114 is in need of Kleenex, paper towels, baby wipes and colorful rubber bands (for our Geo-Boards).

I am sending home a form that can be used for such input – please be gentle.\r\n<p align=\"center\"> </p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Next Year, We Will</h2>\r\nNext year, we will take our Unit 4 math test.  We will review on the Monday after break and take our test on Tuesday.  Some of the topics we will cover are:  addition facts, filling in blanks on a number grid, patterns, counting and exchanging coins, frames and arrows, adding dice, measuring line segments, and telling time to the quarter hour.  Please use the break to review some or all of these concepts before our exam.\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Visit our Blog!</strong></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>http://emrosa.cuipblogs.net</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Reminders</h2>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>We will return from Winter Vacation on Monday, January 4<sup>th</sup>.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h2> </h2>\r\n<h2>Announcements</h2>\r\nWe have a <strong>Field Trip</strong> on January 14<sup>th</sup>.

Documentary” </strong>officially had its status changed to <strong>Fully Funded</strong> as of last Thursday!  The kids were raring to go when we began pre-production talks on Friday.  As I’ve mentioned, all of the students will have the opportunity not only to produce, but to appear in the film – as long as parents have approved, signed, and returned the media release forms. There are plenty of ways to participate for students who do not have permission but please let me know if you change your mind and I will supply you with a new form before taping.\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, please work with your child by pointing out some easy “planet-saving” efforts that can be made everyday – such as recycling, and water and energy conservation.  These extracurricular experiences will help your child feel more like an expert when the time comes to teach their peers.  The making of our film will include a formal research project that may require adult assistance.  I will send the criteria for that as the time approaches.\r\n<h2>This Week, We Learned</h2>\r\nThis week, we introduced a new facet to our writing called the Response Journal.  The Response Journal is basically an open written dialogue between student and teacher kept in a composition notebook here in class.  The response journal not only allows the students to become even more proficient at reading and writing, but offers us an opportunity to practice conversation.  Response Journals will be available for you to review during your visits and will go home at the end of the year.\r\n<h2>Next Week, We Will</h2>\r\nNext week, we will take our Everyday Math Mid-Term Assessment.  This is a long exam so I will break it into two parts and we will test on both Tuesday and Wednesday, following our Monday review.\r\n<h2>Reminders</h2>\r\n<strong>There is no school on Friday, January 29, 2010.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2> </h2>\r\n<h2>Announcements</h2>\r\nWe have 2 <strong>Field Trips</strong> in March. Please send in written permission and fees if you have not already done so.  Also, students must bring a bagged lunch (clearly labeled) for both trips.\r\n\r\nThe beginning of a new month is upon us, please send one days worth of snack for the class.  We currently have 31 students.\r\n<h2> </h2>\r\n<h2>Thank Yous</h2>\r\nThank you to all of the parents who continue to send snacks (sometimes more than their fair share!)\r\n\r\nExtra special thanks to the families of Justin, Yasmin, and Ria for their financial support!  I’m not sure our documentary would have been possible without them.\r\n<h3>emrosa@cps.edu</h3>','Ms. Rosa’s First Grade Newsletter Jan. 28, 2010','','publish','closed','closed','','ms-rosa%e2%80%99s-first-grade-newsletter-jan-28-2010','','','2010-02-02 08:30:35','2010-02-02 14:30:35','',0,'http://emrosa.cuipblogs.net/?p=96',0,'post','',0),(97,164,'2010-02-02 08:30:24','2010-02-02 14:30:24','<h2>Dear Families,</h2>\nOh, the excitement!!!  Our <strong>“Earth Day Documentary” </strong>officially had its status changed to <strong>Fully Funded</strong> as of last Thursday!  The kids were raring to go when we began pre-production talks on Friday.  As I’ve mentioned, all of the students will have the opportunity not only to produce, but to appear in the film – as long as parents have approved, signed, and returned the media release forms.

I’m really proud of the kids and I hope you are too.\r\n<h2>This Week, We Learned</h2>\r\nThis week, we began unit 6 of our Math curriculum with a review of addition facts and the introduction of a great game called Addition Top-It – you can play this at home with a regular deck of cards!  First take out any picture cards (although you can leave Jokers in to represent “zero”) then, after shuffling, split the deck evenly between two players. Both stacks sit face down next to each other and each player takes two cards from the top of their own deck.  Those cards are added together and whoever has the highest sum gets to keeps all of the cards that were just drawn. Those four cards are put to the side (next to the winner) and two more cards are drawn by each player and the process repeats.  Once there are no more cards to draw, players count their “winnings” and the person with the most cards on their side wins the game!  Have fun!\r\n<h2>Next Week, We Will</h2>\r\nNext week, we will have the opportunity to use our new Listening Center!
