News from the Classrooms


South Fork Elementary
February 2010 Newsletter



First Grade News:
We have had a great month of reading in 1st Grade. We are in Theme 6, "Animal Adventures". We are learning our long vowels and more sight words. We are also encouraging more AR Reading and testing on Renaissance. Children can test on home computers as well as school computers. As children read books and test, they earn points that can be traded in for prizes. In Math, we are drilling Math Facts and learning "doubles plus one" facts. We are looking forward to our "100 Days" parties next week and also celebrating Valentine's Day and President's Day. We want to keep encouraging the children to read at home. We are working on reading accuracy and fluency. Thanks for all you do by helping your children with their homework and other assignments.




Math Science Night
Feb. 10th 5:30pm – 7:30 pm.
Science Fair projects will be in the South Fork Elementary Gym for all to see. Math games will be throughout the school for all to play and get to know some games that they can play at home to learn even more. PTO will have food for sale in the cafeteria so parents don’t even have to worry about fixing dinner. It will be a great event that no one should miss.
To know more about what your child needs: they brought home two flyers that give more descriptions on projects and what is required. A rubric was included so that all students will know what they need to have in their project to get the best score by the judges.
Good luck to all and see you there!



Science Fair Food
$1.50 a slice or $10.00 for whole pizza, drinks are $.50 a piece,
