SEPTEMBER 22-SEPTEMBER 26

We are moving right along in the first grade. Thank you for returning all of the progress reports.

In Reading we are continuing to work on vocabulary, short a, comprehension, cause and effect, sequencing, the ed ending added to a base word, and the digraph th. In Science we continue with the ecosystem and in Social Studies we are reviewing laws, rules, leaders, communities and the Golden Rule. In P.E. we have started a jump rope unit. In Math we are working on addition facts up to 12. This week timed tests will be given if the teacher feels the class is ready to being this daily task. It would be a good idea to get flashcards and work on them nightly. In Religion we are learning about God's creation and how we are to care for all of it by being kind and helpful.

Just a reminder: Please check your child's planner every night and sign. If homework goes home to be completed or to redo please return the following day. When readers go home they are to be read to a parent and returned the next day.

Your children have gotten really good about writing in their planners.
