Welcome Back! I feel like I am preparing for the first day of school! Mrs. Lee has done an awesome job with our class and I will be forever grateful for my time at home with Morgan. But, it is back to the “real world” for me, so please be patient as I “find my footing” in first grade! I will not be giving super detailed information below because I will be assessing students and getting to know new students the remainder of this week. If you have any questions, please email me at lmiller@tcss.net Thanks! MM
Phonics: Working on the digraph /ch/. Remember, a digraph is when 2 letters go together to form one sound.
Vocabulary: These are words we will learn about through our Storytown Reading program. Remember…your child does not have to read or spell these words. We will be discussing their meaning!
Words for this week are: astonishing, continue, doubt, transform, examine, devour
Sight Words: I will try to continue doing sight words the way Mrs. Lee has done them. I know I will not have time to assess children twice a week. So, sight words will be assessed each Friday. If there is a parent who can commit to test sight words each week, PLEASE call me!
Spelling Words: Test Friday!
chip, chin, inch, such, catch, match, wish, shop, saw, were
Math: We will be working on fact families this week. A fact family is where three numbers added or subtracted go together.
For example, 2, 3, and 5 are a fact family. 2+3=5, 3+2=5, 5-3=2, and 5-2=3
When we understand how these numbers interact with each other, it is easier to learn and understand addition and subtraction facts.
Writing: I cannot wait to see the progress the class has made with writing!
Theme: We will begin a unit on nutrition this week.
Extra Information:
· Book Fair will be Nov. 8-12th in the Library. I will let you know what time we will go.
· Slushy Day is next Wednesday
· No school next Thursday…Happy Veteran’s Day!
