Hello first grade families!
We had a fun first week of school! It was so nice getting to know each other!
Math: We will begin unit one in our Everyday Math curriculum. In unit one we will be reviewing skills learned in kindergarten. We will be reviewing number sense, adding on number lines and tally marks. We will have math homework every day.
LA: This week we will begin our new Benchmark curriculum. We will be learning about living things and life cycles. We will be working on sentence structure while creating complete sentences. We will find the main idea of the stories we read.
Homework: Make sure your child is reading and working on sight words for at least twenty minutes each night. I sent home 4 books with your child tonight! Please use those to reread each night. The more we practice the better reader we become.:)
Reading Skills: This week we will be reviewing letter names and sounds, CVC words and making three letter words. We are also learning the silent e words. Ask your child what that reading rule is!
Reminders:
Students will come home with a yellow homework folder daily. The side marked bring back needs to be completed and come back to school the next day. The items on the stay home side should be taken out each night and left at home. Students will have a math activity to complete each night that is due the next school day. Completion of home work is required and graded. Students will have a set of the sight words they need to learn kept in homework folder and paper books, please work on sight words and reading nightly with your student.
Send a healthy snack with your student each day!
Make sure students have gym shoes daily. Students can leave an extra pair at school if they’d like.
Make sure you let the front office know of changes of bus or parent pick up changes.
