Tuesday January 20, 2015


Homework
1. Literacy Map:
We are now starting again with learning spelling words.  We will continue with the two groups, blue and green.  Please check your child’s book to see which group they are in and the spelling homework.  Please have your child print 1-2 lines of each spelling word and 1-2 sentences using these words.  Don’t forget to include juicy words!!

Green Group (Mrs. Beechey):
Monday: what, do
Tuesday: did, how, when
Wednesday: which, each
Thursday: Review for tomorrow’s quiz
Friday: Quiz on the spelling words

Blue Group (Mrs. McGivern)
Monday: blue, have, give
Tuesday: live, love, nice
Wednesday: chance, dance, cage, page
Thursday: large, review for tomorrow’s quiz
Friday: Quiz on the spelling words

2. Reading:
Read for 20 minutes everyday.  This may be a library book, home reading book, or a book online.  It is beneficial to have your child read their book both silently to themselves as well as out loud.  Remember to allow your child time to solve words on their own before jumping in to help.  This time could also include flash card practice.

3.Tell and Show:
We are doing letter M for Tell and Show this week. Please continue to have your child draw and write independently.  Thank you so much to those who have already been doing this.  You may help your child come up with the object for the specific letter and talk about the clues.  If you are concerned that we won’t be able to read it due to the “kid spelling” please just scribe for your child underneath.  Don’t forget to start sentences with an uppercase letter and end them with punctuation (.?!).


Ask Me About:
Mrs. McGivern-Writing
-What are the four things I like to do on a snowy day?

Reminders:
   1.    Grade 1 family movie night is Thursday, February 5th. Order forms have been sent home with your child and contain all the information. Tickets are first come - first serve so send your orders in early.

   2.    Please remind your child that it is important to bring their library books on their assigned day.  If your child misses their library day we are happy to allow them to change books on another day.

   3.    Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather (jacket, snow pants, boots, Hat, gloves).  We recommend that you label your child’s items.  This way if they become lost or misplaced they can be returned quickly to the right owner.
