Parents,

This week we 1st grade teachers will be testing for TPRI and will be having substitute teachers in and out of the room.

For this reason I have decided to postpone the spelling test to Friday. The kids are expecting to have it tomorrow and that’s okay because I want them to know those words 🙂

Please continue to support you child at home with encouraging words and help!

 

The reading logs are working out very well but there are still some students that aren’t turning them in with signatures and documentation on them.  Reading at home is extremely important and good practice for our 1st graders! Please help them to become better readers 🙂

Also this week, Tuesday, is Constitution Day and 1st grade will be learning about the Constitution and creating a class book.

This week in math we are continuing to problem solve with addition using the best strategy per individual child. Ask them about

the number line

the hundreds chart

the tens frame

pictorial

and counters

See which one the like best and encourage them to use the best one!

We are also striving to be CHAMPS and working to have our noise levels down while working during work time.

We are also creating a class story with the help and imagination of your students! Ask them about the beach story we created in class! They really seem to enjoy this part of the day!

We are also still focusing on vowels, rhyming words, and sight word locating. They are doing an awesome job and we are covering ground!

Thank you for all that you do!

If you have any questions feel free to let me know.
