Week September 4 - 8, 2023

We will continue to establish our classroom routines this week by introducing our spelling routines.  We did not get to them last week, so the spelling words for all groups will stay the same.  I will email you the spelling group your child will be in by Friday for the following weeks.  These spelling groups are based on phonics patterns and when you are practicing them, concentrate on the phonics pattern instead of trying to learn to spell each word.  I will choose 10 words that follow the pattern for the test on Friday.  We take our spelling tests and practice our spelling words on our chromebooks.  Our goal this year with technology is to teach your children how to use technology for learning and for play.  They will learn how to use the keyboard including the track pad.  If you have not sent a pair of headphones to school yet, please do so.  Headphones really cut down on the distractions in class.

Friday is Picture Day.  All students will have their picture taken.  It is also early out day.

Let me know if you have any concerns or questions.

Have a great week!

Week August 28- September 1, 2023

Last week was a GREAT first week.  Your children are such good kids.  We are going to have a great year!  This week we will begin many of our permanent routines including rotations.  We will log into our chromebooks, begin learning our spelling group routines, and begin homework.  If you have any question about any of these routines and procedures, let me know.  

Thank you to everyone who has sent in a pair of headphones for your child.  We will need them this week as we learn how to use Google Classroom and access our spelling activities.  If you have not sent in headphones, please send them with your child this week.  

As we begin our spelling routine I will be breaking the students up into groups based off of phonics needs.  I will be texting you the group number for your child.  On the homework tab of this site I will list your child's spelling pattern and words to use to practice with the spelling pattern.  Many patterns will have many words to practice.  Remember as you practice spelling, you are practicing the spelling pattern and not the words.  By the end of the week, your child should be able to spell any word that uses the spelling pattern.

Let me know if you have any concerns or questions.

Have a great week!

Welcome to 1st Grade!  I'm so excited to have you in my class this year.  We are going to learn and grow so much.  This website will keep you up-to-date on all the happenings in our class.  Please check it often.

Monday, August 21st is our 1st Grade assessment day.  If you have not signed up for your appointment time, please do so as soon as you can.  I sent the link in an email last week.  If you need it again, just email or text me and I will send it again. 

Monday is also Back to School Night (5-6p).  I will be explaining how our classroom works and the procedures for homework, Take Home Readers, and communication works.  There is also a link to a video I made a couple of years ago explaining these procedures on the Back to School Tab of this site.
