The Week of February 3rd

It's February!  We are now at the half way mark of first grade.  The year is certainly flying by!

Jan 22nd and the Week of Jan 27th

Since this week is so short we will not have spelling words this week.  I have combined some of the words into the week of Jan 27th's list.  Here is the list for the week of January 27th:  ate, gave, make, bake, late, take, please, red, after, helped, wanted, February, groundhog and fairy tale.

The Week of Jauary 20th

This week we will be finishing up Unit 5 of our math series and Unit 3 of our reading series.  This means we are about half way through first grade!  Watch for unit tests in both and a mid-year test in math.   Continue having your child read each night, practice word wall words and spelling words. 

Speaking of spelling...our spelling bee winners were Vincent and Kayleigh. 

Tricky Tray notes went home on Friday.  Our classroom basket will be a kitchen theme.  Mrs. Moyer will be in charge of it.  Send in items and I will make sure she gets them.

Spelling words for the week are: clap, sled, trip, spot, drop, drum, please, can't, it's, read
Bonus Words are: favorite, January and chocolate

The Week of January 13th

We'll hopefully be back to a normal week!  There is a lot happening this week.  On Monday first grade will have their own spelling bee--later on in the week we will attend the OCS spelling bee.  Our winners will be honored at that time.  On Tuesday we will attend a presentation on the Lenni Lenape Tribe.  On Wednesday our dog friends will be visiting us again.

Continue studying word wall words each week.  Our words for the next two weeks are: came, know, out, she, there, word, say, read, again, and please.  Next week we will have a test on all the word wall words so far.

Spelling words for this week are: fast, just, hand, out, sent, best, must, and, came, next.  Bonus words are: polar bear, iceberg, freeze
