Letter from Mrs. Mildred

Dear Parents,

I rejoice at the talented children you've sent to Covenant Acadmey. I pray God's blessing on your family. I thank you for your support. Please feel free all year to offer suggestions.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mildred

Mrs. Mildred would like you to practice the First Grade Prayer Song at home!!!

For mother's love & father's care.

For food to eat & clothes to wear.

For home & school & friends who share.

We thank you Lord."

Chapel Today

Today's verse from chapel was:
Hebrews 13:16
And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.
Mrs. Mildred read the book:
The Best Kid in the World, a SugarLoaf Book




When SugarLoaf discovers that her parents once bestowed the Best Kid in the World Award on her brother, her first thought is:
But...
but...
but what about me?
She wants to be the Best Kid in the World, so she decides to be so very helpful that her parents can't not give the award to her. However, every one of SugarLoaf's good deeds ends in disaster, and it seems that the award is farther away from her grasp than ever. But what she doesn't realize is that trying counts for a lot, so she might have a better chance at taking the Best Kid in the World throne than she imagines.

Letter from Mrs. Mildred

Dear Parents,

Each day your child will participate in a wide variety of mathematics activities. Your child will learn through hands-on experiences, discussion, and exploration. The new learning will be reinforces through carefully considered practice.

Our day begins with the Meeting. This is a time when we practice a wide variety of everyday skills. The children answer questions about the calendar, the daily number pattern, the weather, the attendance graph, time, & money. A "Student of the Day" assists with special tasks.

The next part of Math 1 is The Lesson. During The Lesson a new concept is presented through discussion and an activity. Concepts and skills in Math 1 include computation, problem-solving strategies, pattern identification, measurement, geometry, money, time, fractions, graphs, & charts.

Number facts are introduced using fact stratgies. We will practice the facts in class using fact cards & fact sheets. Your child will also practice the number facts at home using fact sheets. Children are encouraged to continue practicing the number facts at home using games & activities.

After each lesson we will practice the new learning, as well as concepts previously introduced, through guided written practice. The children complete and correct Side A of a practice sheet in class. Side B is your child's homework. Most problems on Side B have a corresponding problem on Side A.

Your child will have math homework four nights a week. Please assist your child by reading the problems on Side B, if necessary. Allow your child to arrive at the answers independently. Check your child's work & help your child correct mistakes. If you helped your child with a problem, please circle the problem number to let me know that this is a difficult question. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR CHILD RETURN THE HOMEWORK THE NEXT DAY.

Assesment of your child's progress occurs every five lessons. Each written assessment includes skills you child has been practicing throughout the year. We will strive for 80 percent mastery on all assessments. Any missed objectives will be reviewed and retaught. During our conferences, I will share with you my observations about your child's progress.

Please contact me (at home) if you have any questions about the program or your child's progress.

Sincerely,

Mrs. M

SO MUCH GOING ON







1st grade has been soooooooooooooooo busy! Let me try and remember what all the 1st grade has been doing. First of all they have been having FUN learning. Then went on an after school field trip to a museum in Viola where we all were able to go on a hay ride(Did you see our picture in the Southern Standard?) If you seen the paper I bet you seen Jonie smiling real big right up front and Carlton too. Also we had a poster contest about farming and Leslie won for our first grade class!! Not only did she win at our school she won against ALL first graders in Warren County. We have had inside-out mismatched day, Pioneer Day, green day and also 50's day! Emma's family hosted the Easter party at their house and we had FUN! Thanks Emma and family. We have also had a science fair. We are so PROUD of entire class for everyone doing a science project. We were the only class with 100% participation. WAY TO GO! For Mathematical project Emma won first place. For physical Megan won first, Leslie won second, and Jaren won third. Did you see our picture in the paper for that too? We also just had our annual Spring Fling and what fun that was!
