NEW: Saxon Phonics is a program that allows students to look at phonics in a systematic way.  We are learning the value of letters, letter combinations and syllables.  Students do a worksheet in class and bring home the backside to do at home with you watching and guiding if necessary.  This worksheet is to be returned everyday!

Weekly homework packets are given to students every Friday and returned the following Friday. Homework is a small sample of what we are doing in class.    Students should read every day for a sustained amount of time. Twenty minutes a night is a good amount for most First Graders.  Student should write a sentence or two about their reading. They can keep a journal and/or log it on their Reading Logs.  This will help them to become more proficient readers, and better public speakers.  

Math: Adding and subtracting games help to make math fun.  We consider place value, number charts, number lines, and sum and difference stories, too..

Social Studies:  It is time to study the states and the continents.  During this time we will look at landforms and their functions.
