Happy Monday All,

I hope your weekend was awesome!!

There will be a spelling test tomorrow!

the,of,and,a,to,in,is,you,that, it

are there words your child will be responsible for the rest of the year. They will be graded on the spelling tests and in their writing for the remainder of the year. Please make sure your child  can read,write, and spell these words. I am sending home a spelling preview for you and your child to review and study for tomorrow’s test. Notice which ones your child needs extra help on.

We will start guided reading tomorrow and your child will be bringing home books to read every night. Please continue to sign the reading log write comments about the books. This is going to be new to them in first grade so please hang in there with me until guided reading becomes routine for your kids.

We will be finishing out Kevin Henkes unit this week and I am so excited to announce that these kids are absolutely in love with this author.

In math we are comparing numbers, solving addition word problems, and working together in math stations.

In wiring we will begin our first class book with a plot, setting, and characters. This will done interactively and we will review and learn using capitals, finger spaces, punctuation, sight words, and working on penmanship.

I am also sending home a Scholastic Book Order! This is very exciting for the kids! This will allow them to read and be read stories and books that interest me.

You can order online or send checks with amount owed.

Our class code is: NGZ2M

Thank you so much!
