Note to parents: Instead of counting fingers, remind your child to use one of the strategies learned at school…counting on, using a number line, and adding doubles.

Reading sight/outlaw words-

is, on, a, in, but, to, I, was, of, the, oh, too, have, for, you, an, he, are, here, has, away, no, said, says, this

(Editor’s Note: You might want to make some flash cards with these words and review them every couple of nights. We continue to add to them every few days in class.)

Note to parents: Making these words a part of a child’s sight vocabulary means more fluent reading--and stronger spelling skills.

Homework for First Graders: Read, read, read your “Bag of Books” each and every night. Read them 5 times and have an adult initial each time you read.

“It all comes from liking honey so much!”

Tigger’s Tips:

“That’s grrrreat!”

*Put your name on all coats and lunch boxes, please. If you forget your lunch box or coat, we can get it back to you if it has your name on it. “Thanks, little buddy!”

*Let’s wear appropriate shoes for the playground. Be safe outside…no flip-flops, please.
