What can I reinforce at home?
Reading: Reading with expression and using phrasing. Discuss if a story is fiction or nonfiction.
Don’t forget that students have vocabulary cards in their pencil pouches in their PAWS
folders. Please practice these often. Have them use the word in a sentence or even
have them write the word forming a complete sentence.
Math: Discussing the relationship between addition and subtraction. (3 + 4=7 and 7-3=4)
Pathways: spotting the vowel in words and making the vowel sound.
Handwriting: Working on the formation of numbers 1-7

Thanksgiving Feast
The First Graders are studying about Pilgrims and Native Americans. Our final activity will be a Pancake Feast on Tuesday, November 24th. Each child will make an Indian face out of a pancake, bacon, and fruit. We plan to eat shortly after 9:00 a.m., so your child should eat a very small breakfast that morning.
