Dear Family,
Phonics/ Spelling:
We are beginning our phonics program this week. This week we will introduce the letters p, short vowel i, long vowel i, n, and l.
Our red words for the week are: have, of.
Spelling homework starts this week and will be due Friday.
Math:
Your child will begin our Saxon Math homework this week. He/she should complete side b of their math paper at home and turn it in the next day. Our focus this week is counting, reading, and writing numbers. We will also review shapes and introduce the concept of more and less in graphs.
Art and Special Activities:
We will be reading the book Chrysanthemum, by Kevin Henkes. Students will create their own Chrysanthemum character as well as a flower in art. Students will also graph how many letters are in their name.
Students will be working on an “All About Me” book this week.
Miscellaneous:
Thank you for all of the families who came to Back-to-School night. Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. Badella both need room moms to help plan class parties this year. If you are able to help them, please call the school or send a note.
The first grade team is meeting daily to make sure we are all focused on the same learning objectives. We are all still in the process of assessing and setting classroom routines. We will contact you when we are ready for parent helpers.
Don’t forget we have a late start day this Friday the 31st and no school on Labor Day Sept. 3rd. Please remember we have P.E. on Tues. and Thurs. and to wear comfortable shoes.
