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!

late again!
Hello - once again I'm a bit tardy getting this done -- sorry for that!
Spelling words for the week are - met, web, spiin, tea, heat, leaf, each, who, which, seashell. In language arts we are covering th "ea" sound in words, and nouns (person, place, thing).
This is our Spring Carnival week. Special days are as follows:
- Monday - PJ Day
- Tuesday - Twin Day
- Wednesday - "Dress like the opposite sex" Day
- Thursday - Beach Day
- Friday - Hat Day
Friday is also our special events day, with inflatable "rides" for every level, as well as movies and treats. A good welcome to a welcomed warm spell!

almost May!
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.
