November 4th - 8th

Congratulations to Mrs. Ludtke who had her baby girl, Amelia Monroe Ludtke, on October 30th at 8:10 PM! The class was excited to hear the news and see a picture of baby Ludtke. I, Mrs. Lemm, started this past Wednesday and enjoyed all the special activities taking place. I am very excited to be in for Mrs. Ludtke while she is out. I have three daughters, Emily (11), Natalie (9), and Audrey (7). We love to spend time together reading, camping, cooking, baking, and playing with our 6 month old puppy, Oppie. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me. My email is lemmh@kaukaunasd.org.

Math: Mathematicians will learn all about numbers 7-10 and how using a five group can help us to see and build those numbers quickly! We will use different tools to build these numbers and make equations to match. The class will create story problems with pictures and write addition equations.

What's new this week in First Grade? 

Math: This week we will be working on using math mountains to explore unknowns. We will also be solving story problems and making sure to label our answers. The class will be able to practice visualizing story problems by acting them out. There will be a math homework sheet sent home on Wednesday. This sheet does NOT need to come back to school. It is just a chance for you to see what we are working on at school. If you don't get to it on Wednesday, just do it another night!  Extra practice is always helpful.

 We had a special guest to read us some spooky stories on Halloween!

2nd Day of School

Hello!  We have had so much fun the first two days of school.  We are learning each others names and getting to know each other.  We have been practicing routines in our classroom.  I can already tell it's going to be a great year :) Here is a 2nd day of school picture...(since we forgot a first day picture!) And a silly one...because that's the only way I could get them to all smile for the first one!  I hope that you are hearing great things at home too. As always if you have any questions, let me know. -Samantha

This year our NDLC and Quinney Council members have chosen to help out military personnel deployed overseas in honor of Adam Hall.

We are looking for our Quinney and NDLC families to donate personal care items, snacks, or money. The monetary donations will be used to cover the cost of shipping and to purchase extra supplies. All items should be new and in original packaging. Thank you in advance for your help in supporting our troops. For item suggestions and to sign up, go to Sign Up Genius .

September 23-27th

I am very proud of how well the students handled all of the safety drills we practiced last week.  They were very understanding when they were explained and brave when they practiced.  Of course, we hope we will only ever have to practice these things, but if a situation of any type (weather, fire, intruder) comes up we will be prepared. Classroom News Star of the Week: This week we will learn about Elise, Tristan, Yenghua, Hayes, and Ariyah. Word Study: This week we will focus on the letters a, g, d, s.  We will be working on handwriting and sounds. Field Trips: Thank you for getting field trip forms back!  I will be reaching out to chaperones for our Piggly Wiggly trip on October 1st tomorrow. Writing: In writing this week we are going to talk about telling our stories step by step and not missing any detail!  We will make our characters have feelings in our pictures and words.  We will also try to get more sounds in our words. What's new this w...
