Spelling- art, arm, bark, car, hard, park,shark, smart, star, yard

Reading- Story of the week: Johnny Appleseed
Please practice reading each night at home. This will help your child’s progress. We are working hard on comprehension and strategies to use on unknown words.

Writing- We are reading from the New Testament. We are learning about Jesus’ life as he began teaching.
We are going to have some fun with books this week, and create stories from children’s books.

Math-We will work on counting groups of coins- pennies, nickels, and dimes. PLEASE practice this skill at home. It is very difficult for the children to get the hang of.
I sent home your child’s ixl login information. Please make sure your child is only working on 1st grade skills on their account.

Religion- We will learn about Lent.

Social Studies- This week, we will learn about working in factories. We will have a chapter test over Unit 6 on Wednesday, March 9. The end of the third quarter is Thursday, March 10.

Things of Note:

Times for parent teacher conferences will be sent home in the Tuesday folder next week. If you are ABSOLUTELY unable to keep your appointment, you should contact the office to make changes. Please remember that I am required to meet face to face with each parent and I have 23 conferences to do in a limited amount of time; therefore, the conference will only last 10 minutes. If you need to meet for a longer period of time, please email me to schedule a separate conference. Thank you for your help!
