Newsletter for the Week of October 1, 2012

Dear Family,
Phonics/ Spelling:
This week in phonics we will introduce f, e, and, j spelled j and dge.  In spelling we will review that short vowel sounds are followed by ck. We will focus on the blends: tr, cr, gr, pr, br, and dr.
Our red words for the week are:
put, you, are, what, do   Thank you for working with your child to practice their red word rings.  Please keep those rings in their homework folder!
 Math:
This week we will start our fact homework. Students should complete side b just like they do on their Guided Practice. Please practice the doubles rap that we sent home last week. It is a great way for students to learn their double facts and they love singing it!
Science/ Social Studies:
Last week students learned the parts of a plant and their function to help the plant grow. They completed an art project of a flower and labeled it.

This week students will learn that plants need water, soil, and sun to grow.  We will do three science experiments to discover those basic needs of plants.
Reminders:
There is no school for students Next Monday, October 8th. The First Grade Team will be meeting with parents that day for conferences.
