Hello First Grade Families,                                                       1-27-14

I am sending home a new reading log this week.  Please make sure your child is reading 15 or more minutes daily for homework.

I am also sending home Spelling homework this week.  Please help your child to complete three activities listed on the homework page.  All of the Spelling homework is due by Thursday.

A common sight word list will be sent home today.  Please review the list with your child from time to time for extra practice.  A great way to help your child at home is to make flash cards.  The students continue to learn the common sight words.

Writing lessons focus on writing a personal narrative in which students write about a significant event in their lives.

Math lessons include telling time to the quarter-hour; counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s; measuring; addition and subtraction.

Social Studies lessons will involve the study of economics.  Students will learn to identify needs, wants, goods, services, producers and consumers.

Science lessons will include the study of weather and the four seasons.

Reminders:  Read for homework 15 minutes or more; Spelling test Friday; Gym on Friday; Return library books Friday.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Dobronski
