Another short week -
We will be getting back to our regular spelling program again this week. The following are the words for this lesson -- an, cat, skin, say, away, play, today, why, where, playground. This lesson covers words ending with the "ay" sound. We will also be doing an alphabetical order sheet. You might ask your child (given two words) which one would come first, for a little practice with this skill.
You will notice a slight difference in homework this week. I have included some reading comprehension along with math review. Practice makes perfect...
As well, please encourage your child to read at least one book each night - I still have students who haven't read 50 books yet. When they accomplish this they get a balloon on the door with their name on it. They also get to choose a book from my supply to keep. Thanks for your help in this!

OOPS!!
Well, I missed this week for my blog, but am going to get it on early for next week...
There is one more week of the 17-word list, and here they are: me, do, come, is, go, my, like, as, and, when, on, with, more, were, could, four, yes. The class seems to, on the whole, be doing quite well remembering the sight words they're learning this year.
I am sending some math work home to finish over the "long" weekend. Please help your child complete the work and return the sheets to me on Monday. The year is winding down, and the weather is getting warmer - please encourage your child to keep on working hard - we still have lots of work to cover before the end of June!

See you at Parent-Teacher interviews!
A reminder that report cards are coming home on Tuesday - Parent-Teacher interviews are Thursday evening and Friday morning. There will be no classes for students on Friday.
Spelling is the same format as the last two weeks - there are 17 words in the list, from which I will choose 10 for the test, with a sentence to write as well. The words are: he, was, you, said, they, dad, by, live, it, at, why, which, can, for, saw, right, made.
I made new homework duotangs for my Grade One class - I will send the old ones home with you at Parent-Teacher. If your child is struggling in any way, please make sure to come see me.
Book orders coming home this week are due back to me on Monday, April 14th.

April Fools!
Well, March is over and we're hopefully going to see some April showers to bring the May flowers! I know I'm ready for some green around here.
Spelling for the week is the same as last: there are 17 words here, and I'll choose 10 of them on Friday for the test. I will also have a sentence for the class from some of the other words on the list. Here are the words: the, be, all, a, there, mom, one, of, old, down, who, many, or, okay, want, would, does.
There seems to be a lot of sickness going around - just a heads-up for you - if your child is not well, the best place for him/her is at home.

Spring! at last...
Another unexpected day off last week, making a short week even shorter. We have done the spelling test for last week's words, and are catching up once again on the work we missed.
This week I will not be sending a regular batch of homework home, but rather a list of 17 words to study and a math sheet. I will choose ten words for the spelling test on Friday. The words are as follows: I, we, are, some, his, no, love, have, only, little, look, had, any before, because, should, goes.
Please remember to send snow pants, hats and mitts with your children - it is COLD on the playgound.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Spring and Easter!!!
Hi! All those holidays all in one week! WOW!!!!
New spelling words for the week: did, cut, twin, whale, wheel, white, whisper, what, when, whenever. As you can see, we are emphasizing the "wh" sound and words that begin with that sound this week. We also continue to talk about verb tense - past, present and future.
We will have our spelling test on Thursday this week. As well, I'd appreciate it if homework duotangs were returned by Thursday, so I can get them ready for the next week.
Have a good long weekend!

Time will fly!
Well, March Break is over - the time will really fly now. Before we know it report cards will be out and the year will be ending!
Spelling words for the week: bus, pot, swim, cube, tuen, used, excuse, little, down, useless.
We are beginning another unit in You and Your World on Tuesday, and will begin another Reading Club unit in two weeks time.
Keep on doing homework and bringing it back at the end of the week. All that extra that you do really helps!
