Fall is in the air. Please make sure to write your child's name on all their belongings. Our lost and found is getting full.
Last week in first grade...
- we learned about not giving put downs. We also explored ways to fill each others buckets by giving appreciation statements.
- we introduced 12 more classmates by working in groups to learn all about them.
- we took a developmental spelling assessment and are almost ready to begin reading groups.
This week we will...
- finish up with our classmate introduction project.
- Learn more about appreciations and bucket fillers
- continue to count syllables in words.
- continue to explore the "secret stories" (the sounds letter combinations) in our names.
Reading Homework
We will be starting reading groups soon. Please continue to read 20 minutes nightly.
