HAPPY BELATED PRESIDENT'S DAY! I hope everyone enjoyed their three day weekend! Our first graders must have been busy this past weekend. They came in sleepy today!

DAILY REMINDERS:
***PRISM Night is this Thursday, February 21st.
***Week 22 Spelling Test this Friday
***Library this Friday

A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF YOUR FIRST GRADER:
***Shared reading: We are reading the story "Eek! There's a Mouse in the House" and our focus will be to identify rhyming words in the story and put them in ABC order.
***Word work: Our spelling words this week are some, let, an, then, once. We will be working on a variety of activities to help us learn Week 22 high frequency words.
***Writing: Our main focus is to begin working on our "Idea Book". This is a notebook where we will compile our ideas for writing stories. Since this Idea Book is very important to our writing process, we personalized it by decorating the cover.
***Math: The skills we are working on this week are skip counting (2's, 5's and 10's), using a Hundred Chart to skip count and find patterns when we skip count, identifying even and odd numbers, ordinal numbers and finding a pattern to problem solve.
***Social Studies: Unit 5 covers presidents, American heroes, rules and responsibilities, leaders, laws and rules.

Here are a few of my friends during their "free time":
