In Reading, we will continue with the story, “Who Works Here?”  We are answering the question, “who works in our community to make it a nice place?”  Our test for this story will be Friday, January 26^th. 

Our phonics skills for this story are the Long I sound and digraphs wh, ch, tch, and ph.  Our spelling words for this story are: like, ride, smile, time, white, bike, dime, hide, ice, and kite.  Our challenge words for this story are “who” and “work.” The spelling test for this story will also be Friday, January 26^th.

For Math, we are diving into Topic 7!  Throughout this topic, we will discuss number patterns when counting to 120.  Listen for key vocabulary such as: skip counting, column and row. 

Boosterthon has officially started at North Schuylkill Elementary!  Each day we are learning the “six virtues of becoming a true hero!”  Our fun-run will now take place on Friday, January 26^th.  As an incentive to work hard at this great fundraiser, we are doing daily themes in our classrooms!  First grades incentives are as follows:

Monday- “Sit Wherever You Want”-Your child will have the opportunity to pick their own seat this day! 

Tuesday- “Show and Tell”-Your child can bring something to show the class.  This can NOT be an electronic device, and please be sure it is school appropriate!   

Wednesday- “Extra Recess”

Thursday- “Electronic Day”- Students can bring in an electronic device with your permission.  They will be responsible for their own device.  Please be sure all games are school appropriate!
