First Grade News
Week of Nov. 9 - 13
Reading
We are beginning Unit 5 this week. Please continue to read AR. I would like all the students to be at least 50% or more before we get out for Thanksgiving Break. The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas get very wild and I don't want the students to get side tracked and not get their points. All students should be at least on list 19 or higher before the end of the nine weeks. I will be working in small groups during recess with the students that are having trouble with sight words. It will not be everyday, but at least 2 to 3 weeks a week.
Spelling
The Spelling words for this week are we, there, or, be, to, from, shopping, hugging, helped, and asked. The test will be next Thursday. You can go to www.spellingcity.com for more practice. Homework packets went home today.
Grammar
We will be working with verbs ending with ed and ing. We will also be working on antonyms this week.
Upcoming Events
Next Wednesday, the first grade will be singing a song at the Veteran's Day program.
Next Thursday, the first grade will be doing a Thanksgiving skit.
Next Friday, School is dismissed at noon.
