Hi Families,


Classroom Needs: Thank you for all of the donations!  As always, prize box items are always greatly appreciated.

Language Arts: We will continue to work with the Houghton Mifflin story Two Greedy Bears. This story will give us examples of making predictions, inferring and giving an opinion.

Phonograms: We have learned all the phonograms for first grade. You children are working hard to find them in the words they read and help them read at a higher level.

Word Wall Words:All first grade word wall words on the board!  Please help your children learn to spell them as easily as they read them.

Writers' Workshop: We continue to work on our opinion writing unit. We are using the acronym OREO to help us remember the structure of a good opinion piece.  We have also started a Poetry Unit and have begun writing our own Acrostic Poems about Spring.
