First Grade - Mrs. Cofer and Mrs. Knopp

Week of 11/29 - 12/3

We are back from a week long Thanksgiving break. I hope you all had a fun-filled week. 

Reading: Reading is the most important homework you can do with your student! For every book your child reads or book that is read to him/her, please take an AR test. AR is a great way to increase comprehension skills. AR is not optional homework. If you have trouble logging on, please email me. Book reports are due by Friday each week.

Language Arts: We will be practicing the following sound spellings _ng, _nk, qu and schwa (a schwa is a vowel that sounds like a short u). Look for words with these spellings for example: king, skunk, mother (the o in mother sounds like a short u).

Math: Continue to practice partners of ten with addends of 7, 8  and 9. For example: 7 + 3, 8 + 2, 9 +1. Practice counting to 120 beginning with any number.

Sight words: This week's sight words: day, don't, every, five, four, from, get, going.

Planning ahead: Next week we have Mass on Monday and Wednesday. Please wear red shirt both days. Annual Christmas program at Minico High School Auditorium Dec 10, Christmas break is Dec 20 - 31, resuming on January 3.
