WOW! We made it!
Thanks for helping your child make it through the week.
*Tuesday, January 11, all Grade 1 teachers in the Westwind School Division have an all day math meeting in Magrath. Mrs. Luanne Wolsey will be subbing for me!
*Reading - Story for the week is "The Wig". Thanks for signing and returning the yellow sheet every day in the ziplock bag. I know the stories are easy for some of the students in the classroom but this is our required reading program. Spelling words, vocabulary, rhyming words, story writing, writing sentences, etc. are taken from the weekly stories. Grade 1 is about repetition, repetition, repetition! We are trying to build a solid foundation with learning sight words, sounds, putting sounds together to make words, and being able to read fluently. Read books from the public library, school library, and books from home. An important thing to check for when your child is reading, is, does your child understand and remember what he/she is reading; especially if the book is more difficult. Some students can read words but there is little comprehension. Thanks for trying to read for 15 minutes every night.
*Character Education - Kindness. As a family, try to thank each other for small acts of kindness.
*Spelling - Awesome job!
*Weather - We are in for some cold weather and snow. Please dress appropriately. Warm mittens, hat, scarf, sweatshirt under coat, boots, all help!
*Pizza - Pizza orders are due Thursday, January 13. Our class loves pizza day!
*Please return worksheets when your child is absent!
*Flu season - Get lots of sleep, stay warm, eat healthy! Hopefully our class will stay healthy.
Hope everyone had a restful weekend! Here we go for another week. "Enjoy your Crew!"
