1st Grade Reminders!
- Colored Pencils - Students love to use their colored pencils! Some student's colored pencils are getting very small and used up quickly. Check with your student to see if they need some new sets and send them in with your child. I was able to give all the students another box of crayons to replace their old or broken ones. These kids love to color!
- Tissues - Our class supply of tissues in running very low. I brought in a few boxes but if any other families would like to donate one or two that would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
- Homework:
- Read! - Our Book-in-a-Bag Please have your student read their book at least twice before returning it for a new book. Don't forget to record the book on their reading log! Reading daily will help your child build their reading and comprehension skills. Read to them and have them read to you! Ask comprehension questions and talk about the parts of the story.
- Spelling - We are linking the students spelling words to our phonics lessons. So the skills, patterns, and blends we are working on will match our spelling for that week. We practice at school but please review at home too!
- Sight Word Practice - Go over the weekly sight words and review the words from the previous week.
- Bible Memory Verse - Help your child memorize the verse and talk about the meaning. How does the verse relate to them and their daily walk with God.
