💡WHAT WE LEARNED THIS WEEK
📕 LITERATURE / GRAMMAR: We started reading the first book of the series of Frog and Toad, "Frog and Toad Are Friends". Frog was such a patient friend of Toad's. We learn a lot from their friendship. We practiced reading aloud the first few chapters and answered a comprehension packet.
📕 SAYINGS:
📕 POETRY: The scholars did an awesome job reciting their poems in class!
📕 READING: Thank you to our parent reading volunteers! We still have slots for the month. We need volunteers every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11:10-11:45. Check your teacher's page below for the reading volunteer signup.

📕 SPALDING: Students will practice at home the phonograms they haven't mastered yet. Check out the Spalding resources on this website to review letter formations, spelling/Spalding rules and phonogram list.
📕 MATHEMATICS: The students reviewed subtraction concepts and had their chapter test.
📕 HISTORY: We learned about the gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt and the Egyptian writing called hieroglyphics! Ask your child if they remember the paper the Egyptians used for writing ;)
📕 SCIENCE: This week, we learned about underground habitat, and read an article about one of the underground animals, the mole! Did you know they can dig up to 18 feet in one hour? Can you find some underground animals in your trips or at home? We also discussed our last habitat for first grade, prairies.
