Happy Friday!
We had a very busy week in 1st grade:
- We built stamina in reading independently and now we can read at 14 minutes!
- We reviewed all the consonant sounds so we can be ready for spelling next week!
- We started Writer’s Workshop where the students wrote a short story and drew a picture. They even got to share their work with their friends.
- We read some more Pete the Cat books and checked for understanding to make sure we know what’s happening in the story.
- We played some computer games in the computer lab.
- We learned a lot in PE, Art, and Music.
- We learned that God always keeps his promises through the story of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Noah’s Ark.
- We reviewed how to add two numbers together with pictures, part-whole, and addition.
- … and so much more!
Next Week:

Library Books: please make sure to send them back to school with your child on Tuesday mornings! During library time, your child usually gets 2 books. One book must be an AR (Accelerated Reader) book. It will have a blue sticker that looks like this.
Depending on the student's STAR test results, the child will have a book within their reading range to help them continue to improve in reading. On Tuesday the students will take a quiz over their AR book at their level.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS READING THE BOOK. It's a good idea to read it together and ask them questions while they read it. The other book they can check out is a book they can have for fun for the week.
