First Grade Homework Sheet

Week of Oct. 17, 2011

        I would like to thank all 11 of our field trip drivers!  We had a great day in beautiful Oak Glen learning about apples.  The staff at Los Rios Rancho complimented me on how well-behaved and academically prepared our class always was when we visit the apple orchard.  I was very proud of our First Graders, and hopefully we can go on many more educational and fun field trips!

        Now is the time to collect your pledged money for the Math-A-Thon.  Please turn the money in to me, not the office.  Each teacher keeps track of the amounts pledged and collected before turning it over to the office.

        I have included copies of the recognized pre-primer and primer sight word lists with this homework packet.  These should be review for all first graders.  Please start working with your child to be able to read and comprehend these words.  These lists correspond with our

Open Court Reading

program and should be mastered by each student.  In a couple of weeks I will include the “First Grade” sight word list.

        This Friday we will try again to have a “board games and videos” afternoon.  Board games only, no video or electronic games, please.  We will not have Show and Tell that day.

Monday:  Write Spelling Words List #8 five times each;

        Math—“Bears and Berries”

Tuesday:  Write Spelling Words List #8 three times each;

        Math—“Filled to the Brim”

Wednesday:  Write Spelling Words List #8 two times each;

        Math—“A Sticky Snack”

Thursday:  Take a Practice Spelling Test List #8 and write any

        Word you miss five times each;

        Math—“Picking Berries”

BOARD GAMES AND VIDEOS FRIDAY AFTERNOON!!!!
