Thank you for logging on to our classroom website! Be sure to check here weekly to keep up to date on all the first grade news.
We’re ready to celebrate President’s Day with clean teeth! That’s right, we are learning about George Washington and Abe Lincoln this week as well as celebrating dental awareness. This is another fun filled week at Creech Elementary for First Graders so get ready!
MONDAY
We are on Unit 19 in spelling, watch us spell! We are learning to spell lots of words with oo this week. Keep practicing with us at home on our 70 phonograms, we are really getting good! (A way to help your child practice for our phonics dictation test is to say only the sounds that a phonogram makes and have them write down that phonogram without looking at the letters. That is what we do on Friday. For example, you might say /k/ /s/ and have your child write the phonogram ‘c’ and not show them the letter.) HOMEWORK: Vocabulary Folder.
TUESDAY
We are reading the story Seven Sillies in our basal reader this week. It is a cute story with animals learning about reflections in the water. HOMEWORK: Take Home Reader "Lee in the Lake".
WEDNESDAY
This week in math we are counting all the way to eighteen. Keep playing those math games with us at home, that really strengthens our math skills. HOMEWORK: Fast Facts and our Math Workbook page P127-P128. (Time us while we complete the short math sheet and write our time at the bottom, our goal is to complete the quiz in two minutes.)
THURSDAY
To celebrate President’s Day we are learning about George Washington. Once we read and study George Washington we will celebrate with cherry pop-tarts! YUMMY! Don’t forget we have our Spelling Test tomorrow. HOMEWORK: Spelling Book page 22-23.
FRIDAY
Fun Friday is here. Today we are learning about Honest Abe. Don’t forget to play the First Spark games this next week with your child. Have a great weekend and I can’t wait to see you on Monday! HOMEWORK: Book of Poems.
Each week we will include a secret code word at the end of our message. If you come in and whisper the secret code in my ear without telling anyone else you will receive a special treat. This week's code is "Brush everyday!"
We want to thank all first grade parents for their continued help at home! There are over twenty reasons that we come to school everyday, and they are the smiling faces that we see in the classroom! We just want to send a reminder that boys and girls in all grades are counted tardy if they enter the classroom after the 8:20 tardy bell. Remind your kiddo to go straight to class when the 8:10 bell rings. If they are in the gym or library they need to come to class when the bell rings so they will not be counted tardy.
First grade is such a milestone in your child's education and I am very excited to work with you and your child during this time. If you ever have any questions please don't hesitate to call!
