What Are We Learning?
The students are adjusting to first grade. Right now, we are working on neater work, doing our best, following rules and getting our work completed.
Our first spelling test went very well. Each week (unless it is a short week) you should see in your child’s folder, the spelling/reading words test scores and a new unit for the following week. If you did not get Unit 2 spelling on Friday in your child’s folder please let us know. The rhyme patterns in Unit 2 are –am, -an and –ack endings. Tricky words are: and, I and like. We do not have Story Words yet but will soon.
Thank you to all the families that helped your child do the optional homework. We had a great response. Please make sure that your child includes the written part of the homework when they return it. We need to see what they did.
Please go through your child’s folder each night and take out the work from the day.
