Thursday, January 18


Agenda Message : Book order due January 31.

Social :  Check out some of our builders! Maybe some future construction workers or designers in our class!!












We also had a VOLUNTEER in our community! Thanks Emmett for volunteering to help other students help build our community. Do you know about VOLUNTEERS in your own community? Please have a chat about VOLUNTEERS. 




Gym : We are moving along in Gymnastics. Here are some pics.








Expectations At School: Many of my students have been having some challenges making 'great' choices when playing with their friends. Please review the story that Ms. Goodine read to our class. Ask your child how they will contribute to make 'We Moments' better at school.






We also need to review the difference between 'Telling' and 'Tattle-telling'  Here is a video to help. 

Math: We've been working hard on how to represent a number in (at least) two ways, tell a story and show a computation. Here is an example of what Grade 1 students should be able to do independently.


Spelling: Today we started our new spelling work. We are working with a partner. We work together to make sure each partner understands what to do in their spelling book and they help each other. Ask your child what the did in their spelling book today.
As part of our spelling, our morning message included knowing when to use the word 'an' or 'a' before a word. Ask your child to tell about the words below. Ask them to tell you why?

Dear girls and boys,
Today is Thursday.
Which word (a  OR  an) would be put in front of these words?

    ant
  egg
  alligator
  ostrich
   umbrella
   ant
  apple




SPELLING TEST ON TUESDAY
We had fun today spelling one of the spelling words on the kids' backs. Try it at home. 





Today I showed two groups. Your child should be able to tell how these groups are sorted. What is the sorting rule? 

 Answer: the top group all starts with a vowel so you use an 'an' in front of it
The bottom group begins with a consonant so they use 'a' in front of it
