DAILY REMINDERS:
- Homework: Your student's ongoing homework assignments are as follows: study weekly spelling words, read 20 minutes/night, complete WRR and turn in on Thursdays and Fridays, practice addition and subtraction facts, and work on January Journal Calendar Writing assignments (3 due on Feb. 1).
- PRISM: If your first grader is interested in completing a PRISM project, you can get all the details and information by going to the Lindbergh website, click on the STUDENT tab, click on PRISM, and click on Download the PRISM book. You can complete the entry form and fill out the order form to purchase a PRISM box ($3.00) by clicking on Entry Form and Box Order Form. The deadline for entry was January 11, but you can still turn in an entry form this week.
- NO SCHOOL next Monday, January 21--MLK Day.
- Friday, January 25--Crestwood Talent Show @ LHS.
- Shared Reading: We are reading the story Flower Garden and identifying rhyming words within the text.
- Word Work: We are working on words with the digraphs /th/ and /wh/.
- Guided Reading/Daily 5 Centers: In our reading groups we work on retelling the stories we read, discussing the story elements, and answering comprehension questions using PQPA (using Part of the Question for Part of the Answer). This is a skill your child will need to have mastered when they begin taking the MAP test in 3rd grade. We continue to use our IPads for Listen to Reading, Word Work and Work on Writing.
- Math: Graphing, Tally Charts, and using data to interpret graphs is the focus for our math chapter this week and part of next week.
