Hello! We have a had a great few weeks getting back into the routine after Christmas break and the unexpected snow day! Last week we learned about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr  and continued practicing our math and reading skills.
      Next week, starting Tuesday, January 16, we will begin our guided reading which includes books to come home with a bag of sight words. Please read the sight words with your child before reading the book. Your child should practice each word 3 times and then read the story 2 times with you. If you see your child struggling with a word, try to help them by asking them to sound it out, or use the pictures in the story to help them. The goal is to have them independently reading the book and sight words each week.
In Math, we will continue practicing counting and writing numbers. Our first graders will be starting to learn about greater and less than and numbers in base ten.

In Science, we will be learning about the food pyramid as well as our bodies and how we can keep them healthy through food and exercise.

We are off to a great start in the 3rd quarter!!
