First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of Oct. 10, 2011

        This is a very busy week for First Grade!  Our first field trip is Tuesday, and if you signed up to be a driver, please be at the Mary statue by 8:30 that morning.  Also, be sure to send a lunch and a drink with your student for that day.  We will be having a picnic at the apple orchard and there will be no food bought there.  Please do not send any money with your student as we will not have time for any shopping!

        The Math-A-Thon is this Friday, Oct. 14.  Every family received a sponsor sheet in their monthly tuition envelope, but if you need another one, you can get one on the school website or in the office.  Every student will take the Math-A-Thon test as part of their regular math grade for the week so why not take advantage of this 100% fundraiser and get some sponsors!!!!  Please sign your student’s sponsor sheet and make sure they bring it in on Friday!  Our test will consist of several of our addition and subtraction facts which we have been practicing so there is nothing to study before the event.  Friday is also Free Dress for $1 if you choose to participate.

 I will be sending home a couple of lists of sight words for you to practice with your child in the next couple of weeks.  This will be review for some, but good practice for all.  Please be sure you supervise your child’s homework and practice reading with them every night.  I would also recommend that you help them with their spelling words orally in addition to more time with the written assignment.  Many of our students are getting excellent grades on our spelling tests, but others seem to need more help.  I have also included our next five lists of spelling words; there is no list #6, just review time.

Thank you all for all you do!
