Week 18

It's a short 4 day school week! I hope that you enjoyed your long weekend with your family.

Classroom needs -
  • Lysol disinfectant spay - to use on soft surfaces in the classroom like our carpets & beanbags
  • wet ones
Homework - 

Math - worksheet packet (unit 4)

Spelling - sp, sk, sm

January reading log
 
New list of Fry Words - (101-200)  Practice for fluency. They can also be spelled if your child has mastered fluency.

Lexia - (continue to practice at home) This is a computerized reading/phonics practice for your child. The more they practice the more they will get out of it. Use it as much as you like at home. Students will also be using it about 60 minutes a week at school. Make sure you log into the Core 5 @ http://www.lexiacore5.com/ see http://www.lexialearning.com/product/core5/ for details about the program.

Please consider coming in and spending time being a "Secret Scientist" for the students. Please review last weeks email for more info. If you need additional info or would like to schedule a day please contact me or Mrs. Smither.

We are in the process of "revamping" or 1st grade schedules to incorporate more centers and small group time. I will be slowly making the changes or the next few week. I will share the updated schedule with you once it has been fully implemented.

Looking ahead - Catholic Schools Week is coming up next week. Spread the word about Sunday's open house!
