We had a great Monday and learned so much today! We are starting our reading groups and will be working together in small groups while Mrs. Wright works with a reading group. We really have to practice using our inside voices and working together during reading because we want everyone to be super readers! We also begin working on our addition facts. I want to encourage you to use flashcards every night for just 10 or so minutes. This can be so helpful, we want these addition facts to be instant, we want to avoid the crutch of always counting on our fingers. Right now we are working on the zero facts and adding 1 to numbers 1-9. PLEASE practice this each night as well as listen to or read to your child each night, also don't forget to practice reading your word wall words in your child's notebook. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail or send me a note, I am here to help. Working together we can help your child become a successful 1st grader!!
A few reminders:
- PTA is tomorrow night at 6:3o in the cafeteria.
- Our 1st grade "Popsicle Party" is Thursday at Thorington Road Park from 6:00- 7:00. I know this is also the Volunteer Orientation, I am sorry that these two conflicted.
- The last day to order First Grade T-Shirts will be this Friday, August 22.
