Mrs. Smith's 1st Grade On-Line Gazette

2021/2022 School Year            October 18th - October 22nd

Teacher Notes
Hello First Grade Parents!
This week we have a short week.  Whenever we have a short week I do not do spelling words.  I do a Reading Unit, but a separate unit from our Reading Program.  There will be no spelling test this week.  
The students will complete their Personal Narratives this week with their Final Copies.  The did a great job completing the Writing Process from beginning to end.  
We started addition in Math and will continue to work on that using different Math Tools.  Basic Math Concepts and understanding is so important at this age.  
It is hard to believe we complete the 1st quarter this week.  That went fast!
​Have a great week!

  1. In first grade for holidays, we do small activities throughout the entire day instead of one specific party slot.  The students have a great time spreading it out throughout the day. ​
  2. Don't forgot to check out recent happenings on the Blog. :)
  3. This week we start using the IXL program in the classroom with the tablets.  Moving forward students will work at their pace on assignments.  Please send in a set of headphones for your student to be able to leave at school for the year. Thank you!
