Parent Information:
- Thank you for all of the book in a weeks! WOW, I think the incentive chart is really going to motivate the first graders. Thank you for taking the time to read with your child:)
- Don't forget Friday is sight word test day. How is your child doing with their sight words? About 1/2 of the first graders have already passed the whole 3rd quarter sight word book, WAY TO GO!! Thanks for practicing sight words at home:)
- Don't forget to practice those math facts at home. The top half of the rocket math page is blank, you could set the timer for one minute and have your child practice the top half at home.
- Thank you for signing up for parent teacher conferences. Almost every family has signed up. GREAT!! I will send home the official time I have your family coming.
- The first grade musical is just around the corner. If your child has a speaking part, please, please, please practice with them! If you have any more questions, please ask the music teacher Mrs. Borth (borthd@usd231.com) She can answer any of your questions better then I can :)
