Welcome to this week's edition of First Grade Weekly Explorations! Each week, we will share materials to supplement our lessons for the week. The newsletter includes videos and links for all subject areas: ELA, math, Science and Social Studies. As work is completed, make sure to sent pictures to your teacher, through Class Dojo or Schoology.

Monday-Write each word three times.
Tuesday-Put each word in a sentence.
Wednesday-Make up your own story using all the words.
Thursday-Use objects at home to make each word. Some examples of things to use are Legos, beads, string, play dough, or whatever you can come up with. Be creative and take a picture to send to your teacher.
Friday-Write each word with a different color crayon, or marker. Then take a spelling test. Ask an adult or older sibling to say the word and you spell it.
