In first grade we will continue with SUPERKIDS. This is a phonetic based reading program which includes activities to support struggling readers as well as enrichment activities to challenge those who are already reading.
***EACH UNIT there will be both a SPELLING WORDS list and MEMORY WORDS list. Please, please, please go over these each night with your kiddo! Units are usually 7-10 days long. Be sure to check your child's take home folder as well as my parent square messages. This will include a copy of our Unit lists and what days the tests will be on. |
In first grade we use a curriculum called Go Math. It is aligned with the Common Core State Standards and spirals all the math concepts that first grade students need to know to gain their foundational math skills. Math homework will come home Mon-Thurs each week. There will be no homework on Friday. Woo hoo!
