Dear First
Grade Families,
We started guided reading and literacy work stations this
week. Students that are ready met with me in a guided reading group to
read stories and practice reading strategies. They also completed three
literacy work stations. During shared reading we learned to read
When this box is full. We added words to the word wall, made a
seasons flip book, wrote about our favorite part and made a fall leaves
book.
In math this week we figured out combinations of 10 pennies
and talked about units, learned about the calculator, and practiced
telling time by the hour on an analog clock.
Homework started this week. It needs to be completed and
the homework sheet needs to be signed each night. Please be sure you
are sitting down with your child and helping them complete each
assignment.
Last week Friday we visited the public library. The books
your child checked out are due on Halloween. You can bring them to
school and I will return them or you can return them right to the
library. We will be visiting the public library again on Nov. 7th. |
The weather is starting to change. Please be sure your
child is dressed for the weather. We always go outside for recess
unless it is raining.
Last week I sent home a volunteer schedule to those of you
available to help in the classroom. I will need your help on your
scheduled day beginning Monday at 8:00. I’m looking forward to having
you with us!
Questions to ask your child
this week are the following:
1)
Can you use the
following words in a sentence? For, will, it, is, but, not
2)
Can you tell me
something you learned about fire safety on Wednesday?
I wish you all a wonderful
weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lyman
