Thank You!
A big thank you to all parents and students for coming to conferences. I truly enjoyed chatting with you and sharing all the successes we are having in First Grade! I am looking forward to a great year!

"TH"
This weeks phonetic sound is the "th" sound. We give a thumbs up to help us remember the sound "th" makes. Help your child think of words that both start and end with the "th" sound. Many of our spelling words also have this sound in common.

Math
In math this week, we are starting to focus on subtraction. In this week's lessons, we are using a number line to help us subtract. Please practice this strategy at home. Using our fingers is still okay, but at sometime we will not have enough fingers. A number line can be drawn on a piece of paper, printed off the internet or a ruler is a fine substitute.

100 Books
Please keep reading and sending in your 100 book sheets. If you are out of sheets, feel free to write them on a plain piece of paper. I will accept any medium when it comes to this. Please have your children read to you each night for at least 15 minutes. Thank you for all of your support!
