almost June!

Well, this is it - the last week of May, already! Here are the spelling words for this week: win, sit, stop, fry, dry, crying, sky, more, before, myself. We're talking about the "long i" sound at the end of words ending in the letter "y", and doing more on adjectives (words that describe).

In Math we are practicing our adding and subtracting, as well as reviewing all of the topics we've covered this year.

I'll soon begin the final reading testing for the year. Keep up the practice, everyone!

short week

There will be no new spelling words this week because we've missed time that we do activities related to the word list. As well, we aren't doing Daily Language or Daily Math this week. I am sending home one double-sided page of homework, instead of the usual 2.

This week we are reviewing nouns,verbs, and adjectives in our Language Arts time. More practice in Math is honing the required Grade One skills.

Sunny days ahead!

Hello -

Here are this week's spelling words: lip, his, went, night, high, might, light, any, many, frightening. We are focusing on the "igh" sound and adjectives this week.

We are writing stories with our reading buddies, using all of the things we've learned this year in our Write Traits program to help us.

Everyone is working hard and it is paying off! Have a great week!
