October!

Welcome to another exciting month! This past month has been great to share with the students and I hope we can continue to improve this month. I hope you had to time to read my letter about care packages for troops stationed in high risk areas overseas. I included a list of needed items in this weeks homework folder. This weeks homework words are: once, upon, two, three, four, five, what, and in. Please practice everyday and remember to read 20 minutes a day as well. This month we will have some fun with October themed activities such as, pumpkins, Halloween, fall, and more!

Mid-way through September

Wow! What a start to the school year, we are settling into a nice routine as first graders. With the larger class size it is important for students to follow directions and get on task quickly, so we can accomplish as much as we can this school year. This weeks words to work on are: and, here, jump, not, too, we, like, and play. Please have your child read these words everyday and remember to shoot for 120 minutes of reading a week!

Welcome to a new year!

Hello and welcome to Room 14's classroom blog! I will be keeping this updated weekly and I will be posting pictures of fun activities that our class is participating in. Along with pictures I will also use the blog to display homework items (like key words and spelling), as well as reminders of upcoming events. Our weekly schedule of events is as follows: Monday and Wednesday are music, Tuesday and Friday are P.E., and Thursday is Library. On a side note, the classrooms Run-4-Fun day is Wednesday. This week is the first week of homework. Everything needs to be returned each Thursday, which will typically include a reading minutes page, math sheet, vocabulary words, and in the near future spelling words. This weeks words include: and, have, is, my, go, on, the, and see. Please practice these words daily and remember to read with your child at least 20 minutes a day for a goal of at least 120 minutes a week. Any questions please feel free to contact me.
