Wow! What a great first week we had! I hope you had a wonderful, restful weekend! I thank the Lord for our time together and pray for a wonderful year! I am looking forward to seeing these little cuties grow in Christ, and grow in academic knowledge! Because God is gracious we were able to finish all our assessments in week 1! Phew! Now its time to dive into learning.

Bible 

This weeks memory verse can be found in Genesis 1:31a

“God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.”

We will be going over this everyday in class. First graders will recite the verse to me every Friday to receive their points.

Homework

Homework will be coming home this week. Please check the front of the August letter, this will give you updates along with a pacing guide on which to complete the homework. Homework will go home each Monday, and must be returned each Friday.

Reading

We will begin working in our reading groups this week. I will be sending home some sight words for the students to be working on along side our reading time in class. Its essential for them to work on these words at home and at school. The more easily recognizable they are, the more fluent their reading will become.

Take Home Folders

Please be sure to check your students yellow take home folders everyday. Anything that is on the “Stays at Home”  and “Notes” side needs to be emptied and kept at home. Please be sure this folder comes to school everyday.

Teddy

This week we will begin sending Teddy home. Encourage your child to take Teddy where ever they go after school. If you desire you may take pictures and include it in Teddy’s journal. At the end of the day help your child write about the adventures they had will Teddy in his journal. We will be reading this in front of the class each day at calendar time.

Show and Tell

This week I will be sending out a list of who has show and tell on what day. We will do show and tell every Monday and Friday.

Thank you so much for a great week! If you have any questions please email me at craymundo@fresnochristian.com
