What a day! Your first grader may be tired today because we worked hard! We are wrapping up another great week together. It sure didn't feel like a short week because we were BUSY! Be sure to check the newsletter in today's Friday Folder to get the scoop on what we've been doing in the classroom. For a fun Friday activity, we broke out the shaving cream and worked on spelling CVC words using the same beginning and ending consonants. For example, we used "B _ D" and put a different short vowel in the middle to make FIVE different words (bad, bed, bid, bod, bud). Try this activity at home and see if your child can make five different CVC words with the same beginning and ending sound. "B _ T" is a great pattern to fill in!
We began our warm and cool color project with different shapes. Your child should be able to tell you some "warm" colors and some "cool" colors. Their projects are turning out great.
A few reminders that I neglected to put in the newsletter:
Next Friday is our Sunflower LEARNING CELEBRATION. Your child will be traveling to each of the 4 first grade classrooms for some patriotic activities. They will also be receiving their OWN Sunflower t-shirt for the year! Your child will need to bring a SACK LUNCH next Friday for our schoolwide Learning Celebration picnic on the playground! Please mark your calanders and remember the sack lunch! There will not be lunch choices on this day (9-17-10).
Keep working on sight word lists. I have several students that are already on list 7! SUPER JOB! If your child hasn't passed lists 1 or 2, please help them work on their word list a little each day. Remember, there are 22 first grade sight word lists. We have lots to learn! Help at home is always appreciated!
Have a super weekend! Enjoy your time together. Go Blazers!
