HOMEWORK

Reading Log: No reading log this week. Read for fun! I will ask students to take books from their book bags home. Please make sure they return the books the next day.

Fluency

Memorize Saint Report: First Grade is doing a great job!

SIGHT WORDS: Remember to study sight words daily (3-5 minutes a day).

Math IXL: C.2 and G.2

Language IXL: N.1

Spelling: Spelling Test will not be until next Thursday. We have our Saint Day on Friday and Monday off.

Parent Homework: You can tell you have been doing your homework. Please continue practicing your child’s saint report. We will be working on eye contact, speaking slowly and clearly, and keeping our hands folded or holding their object. If you have any questions, please send me an email.

Most of you have their saint costume ready, please make sure to practice walking up steps and kneeling with their costumes on at home. Students must come to school wearing their saint costume. I have asked that students wear their P.E. uniform underneath their costume so after the parade they can easily take their saint costume off. Please let me know if you or a family member are not able to attend our Saints’ Mass.

A SNEAK PEEK AT OUR ACADEMICS

Language Arts

Grammar/Writing: We are learning about nouns and how we find them in our sentences. What is a noun? Common Noun vs Proper Noun

Reading/Phonics: I have a feeling that we will be ready for Mission #5 and #6 this week. Please make sure to ask your child if we received a mission for reading. SHHHHH! TOP SECRET!

Here are a few skills we are working on in Reading:

*Do a S-L-O-W Check when you get to a tough word *Practice looking for snap words (sight words)before reading. It helps with fluency.

Here are a few skills we are working on in Phonics

*Look closely to find a clue that can help…Silent E can be a clue *The Case of the Silent E: Words with the silent E changes the vowel to a long sound and careful with words like HAVE

Math: We are using number lines to add/subtract and skip count. We are reviewing all the sums of 10. We will be working on more addition and subtraction timed tests on Thursday. Students were given 1 minute to do 10 addition problems and another minute to do the 10 subtraction problems for the last test. I will be given them 3 minutes to do about 18 addition problems. Please use the IXL C and G sections to practice math facts.

Religion: Practicing Saint Presentations and Church Practice

Science: Pumpkin Investigation continues.
