Concord Flyer Tuesday!

Today is our very first Concord Flyer Tuesday! In your child's Flyer Binder you will find numerous papers and handouts from the district, Concord, and our classroom. Our Flyer Binders go home every afternoon and come to school every morning!

Sight Words are a very important part of First Grade so we have started our Sight Word inventory! Each day this week the First Graders are given a 28 word assessment to "show what they know." This is NOT a test because I do NOT expect them to know every word. These Sight Words are words they will know by the END of First Grade, so there is no need to prepare or worry about the "test." GREAT NEWS - EVERY First Grader knows some of the words already! WOO HOO! GO FIRST GRADERS! :) 

While we are working on our Sight Word inventory we are also practicing our Sight Words through various activities. It is very important we can read AND write all of our Sight Words!

In addition, we continue to work on school and classroom procedures and routines! 

The beginning of the school year is always a VERY busy time, but I hope each of you can attend Curriculum Night on Thursday, August 29. I will present A LOT of information regarding First Grade curriculum and our classroom procedures, so I highly encourage you to make arrangements to come! 

Have a great night!
