We are finished reviewing and off to a running start in math. I will be sending home the math review with the planner next Monday. I want to look over it with them to help them. I often make notes on the pages - I know that not all of the children can read the notes yet. Will you please help them understand what is missing as you look over their work? Hearts around a number or a letter means that I love this. You wrote it so carefully.
This is our last week for reviewing in reading. I hope that we all remembered our planners with our reading minutes signed in it. I realize that I had so much information to give you at the conference that sometimes things get overlooked or mis-communicated. In first grade, we ask for the planner to be returned on Friday (or Thursday if there is no school on Friday) and then we will send them back to you on Monday. If you forget on Friday, you can return them on Monday. (We are just learning about being responsible in first grade.) Minutes read on Fri., Sat., and Sun. can be added in the planner when you get it on Monday.
We will start our spelling next week. The first test will be on the 18th with short "a" words. I'll post the list on Friday the 11th.
Thanks so much for your support.
Mrs. Reeder
