Thank You Parents!!!

*Thank you to all the parents that came to open house!! For those that were unable to attend, I will be posting the Open House Power Point. It will be listed at the top as it's own page.
*I have added www.arbookfind.com to my links page. This is the link that we discussed last night. You will be able to go on this sight and find out if a book has an AR test. You will also be able to use this sight to find out if there are any books at your child's reading level, within a certain interest level . This is a wonderful, useful tool!
*I have also posted sight word lists 1-8 on Spelling City.
Have a great day, and come back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look what we are doing this week!!!

Take a look at our Hundreds Chart!

All of the students should have a hundreds chart. We are using this to learn to count to 100. We are also using it to skip count by twos, threes, fives, and tens. We do all of this backwards and forwards!!!!!
Please make sure your child's chart is in a convenient place, and you are practicing often with them. If your child can not find theirs, please ask for another one. I will be happy to get you one.

Can you answer this?

We have been discussing what a good sentence should look like. We call it a "Four Star Sentence," in first grade. Take a look at the sentence below. Tell me what is wrong with the sentence, and then write it correctly. You will do this by making a comment. Any students who do this will receive a treat!!!! I can't wait to see your comments!!!

Here is your sentence:

the dog is brown

Now...show me what I know you can do!!!!!!
