Dear Parents and Guardians,
In reading, we will be looking at the different events that occur in a story and we will be sequencing the events that happen throughout a story. After you read a book to your child or your child reads a book to you, make sure you ask them about the events that happened in the story (what happened at the beginning, middle, and end of the story). Additionally, we are going to be working on the short a sound, as in bat.
This Friday will be our first spelling test. The format for the first two weeks of spelling tests is simplified and the children just need to write the words. I will look at the first two spelling tests, but no grade will be taken. We will also write some additional words the children should know from things we do in class. In a few weeks, we will move to our standard first grade spelling test where the children need to listen to dictated sentences that the teacher reads with the spelling words, and write them down in sentence form.
This week we will continue to write about ourselves. The students are doing a great job telling stories about real things that have happened to them. Our class is full of wonderful storytellers and the children love to share their stories with their classmates.

We will be working in math on the elements that make up a calendar, counting objects correctly, comparing quantities, and using tally marks. Please look for Home Link 1.8 and an addition practice sheet to come home this week. Math homework will always come home on yellow paper.
In social studies, we will be continuing our school and safety unit. We will be learning more about our classmates and friendship, as we build our classroom community.
There will be a lot of information coming home in your child's red folder this week. Look for a parent volunteer letter, a field trip permission slip, math homework, information about spelling homework/tests, and our first set of vocabulary words. Please make sure to check your child's folder daily. Thank you for your help with this!
