First grade will be having a "Classgiving" on Thursday, November 16th! We will be reading different versions of the story Stone Soup and discussing how its important to be grateful and to give back. Each student will be assigned an ingredient to bring to class that day, and we will combine all of ours together to make our very own "Stone Soup"! In your child's folder there will be a half sheet of bright blue paper that has the ingredient your child was assigned. If you could please send it in by Thursday, that would be great! :)

Want to see what is going on in 1st Grade? Want to get an inside look at what your child is doing each day? Want to see learning in ACTION!? Then please join our class HomeRoom App!

Homeroom is an app that allows me to share a virtual sneak peek into our days at school. You do not have to have the app on your phone to see the pictures. When I upload new photos or information, you will be sent an email! This is a private group, so you cannot view any of the images or videos without receiving an invitation from me.

We ended our study on bodies of water with a science experiment today. The students learned about waves and currents by constructing their own models of the ocean! Thanks for the plastic bottles donation. :)

Writing: We will go on a "virtual" field trip to explore the Mayflower and learn about the Pilgrims! We will also read non-fiction books to help us write our expository writing on the Mayflower

Science: We will take the Magnets Quiz on Tuesday, November 14th! Then we will become Pilgrims and investigate "Hardtack" using our 5 senses!

Home visits are special programs offered by FSAPS to help build the parent, student, and teacher relationship. This is an opportunity for your child's teachers to visit and get a closer look at their life at home. This helps a teacher to know more about each of his/her students, and build a strong relationship between school and family. These are optional, but if you would be interested in planning a home visit for your child, please see the information below.

How to schedule a home visit:

Please send an e-mail to our home visit coordinator, Mrs. Unal, at junal@fultonscienceacademy.org. In that e-mail, please provide three available dates for your child's home visit. We will get back to you to confirm a date. At least two teachers will be together for home visits.; specific names/subjects will be dependent upon teacher availability.

For any further questions you have about this program please send an email to:

junal@fultonscienceacademy.org

**Please note: the best times to schedule a home visit are weekdays after 5:00pm**
