Today, part of the class brought the item that they LoVe so much, just like Owen loved his special blankie in the story by Kevin Henkes. Through this they have made text to self connections. Yeah!

Curriculum

We have now started having a weekly spelling list. The list will come home on Mondays in your child's backpack as well as posted on the blog. The test will be on Fridays.

In Chapter 6 we will be working with numbers and Place Value. The vocabulary for this chapter includes: digit, ones and tens. Please check your child's backpack nightly for math homework.

All students will be placed in a reading group at school that is appropriate. Students will also be bringing home a level appropriate book to read at home. First graders are expected to read for at least 20 minutes, 5 times per week.

We will be working on the following during the coming weeks for Science and Social Studies: Community Helpers, Penguins and Winter.
