Dear First Grade Families,
This past week we practiced following the rules and procedures. Many students did better this week. Other received consequences for their breaking of rules. We will continually work on following the rules so that our class can be learning not disruptive.
Half of the class is doing their spelling homework and reading logs. Please help your child practice their words with daily spelling homework. Daily reading is important. Sign the reading log after they read 20 minutes each day. Keep up with completing math sheets also. I have stapled an example page with the spelling homework for each day on it. The words are not our words this week.
This week we are practicing letter sounds as well as working on comprehension as we listen to Harry the Dirty Dog in SFA Reading. We are identifying endings of words such as –s, -es, -ed, and –ing in Language Arts. In Science we are starting our own Rock Collection as we identify and compare our rocks. In Social Studies we are learning the meaning of the stripes and stars on the U.S. Flag, and the Pledge of Allegiance. We will create our own U. S. Flag. In Math we are learning to do simple story problems, exploring with pattern blocks, geoboards, and base 10 blocks, as well as reviewing for our first Assessment on Friday. Tests are 50% of our grade so I will review the day before and send a review sheet home for homework. In writing we will continue learning to do prewriting and about how to get great ideas into our stories so that they are interesting.
Our homework:
1. Monday- write each word five times, read 20 minutes, and a math sheet
2. Tuesday- Write each word in a sentence, read 20 minutes, and a math sheet.
3. Wednesday- Write your words in ABC Order, read 20 minutes, and a math sheet.
4. Thursday- Do a practice spelling test, read 20 minutes, and a math sheet.
5. Friday- No Homework. Have fun over the weekend.
