Homework
I have decided to send homework home on Thursdays instead of Mondays. I am hoping this will give the Scholars (and parents too) more time and flexibility in completing the homework packet. Homework is due on Thursday.

Reading
Scholars are expected to read for 30 minutes each day. Please have your child log their books. Also try keeping a basket of books in the car for reading on the road and Environmental print counts too!
Spelling
This week’s focus is on spelling short /a/ words and recognizing /a/ as a special word. ** All of the spelling words are high frequency words that 1st graders will be expected to know**
Dictation Sentence
I am on a bus.

1.9 Calendars
1.10 Tally Marks - Please remind your child to “close the gate” with the 5th tally mark
1.11 Explorations
Explorations will give the Scholars the opportunity to become “Math Explorers.” They will try to find the answer to something they did not know before, while working in cooperative groups and using questioning – wonderings, and the sharing of ideas.
