Dear Parents,
I am re-sending home lists 1-A, 1-B, 2-A, & 2-B and you may continue reviewing them a few at a time. If it is stressful, please discontinue that part. Please practice these words daily until your child has instant recall. Mastery is acquired when there is automatic recognition of the word.
We are still reading and learning the vocabulary words from the story “Mice Make Trouble”. This week we will be continuing Unit 2 of “Fundations” homework. They will be
the same words we are using with the word sort spelling words for the week. For fluency practice, we will be reading “Ben Bug” and “Thank-You Day”.
We will be spending time on blending words, and reviewing beginning and ending sounds as well as blending words with short a, i, o, u and this week e. You may still work with rhyming words in the story. I am enclosing the paper with the word sorts, the word hunt, and the writing sort for spelling, the stories “Ben Bug” and “Thank-You Day” and the vocabulary for “Mice Make Trouble” to continue to practice. On Friday, all you should send back in the folder is the word sort spelling homework and the Fundations homework (the sheets I am sending home). You may keep the books “Ben Bug” and“Thank-You Day” for your child’s reading collection.
God Bless,
Nancy Harrison

We are still reading and learning the words from the story “Possum’s Harvest Moon”. with the class and the vocabulary words we have been learning in the story.

For fluency practice we will be reading “Tim” and “Little Pig is Back” this week. With some of you we will also be stepping back and reviewing at and an words. A step back is always really a step forward because success comes faster.

Hello I got back from my adventure last night and have many things to share! If you do not have materials in your child' folder or did not get it don't be worried. I wanted to keep the papers to look over the work in the evening. Following is homework for Oct 1, 2007.

October the Month of the Rosary
Dear Parents,
It is fantastic to be back and have many adventures to share after my re-entry is firmly established. Since I did not have a chance to review our sight words today, we will stay on list one. I may send your child the next list if I find the first one is mastered. Please practice these words daily until your child has instant recall. Mastery is acquired when there is automatic recognition of the word. When your child knows the words in class automatically, I will send home the next set.
We are reading the story “Mole’s Hill” with the class and the vocabulary words we have been learning in the story. This week we will again continue with the alphabet study from the “Fundations” homework. For fluency practice we will be re-reading “Where is Sam?” this week.
We will be spending time on blending words, and reviewing beginning and ending sounds as well as blending words with short a and i. Please make flash cards for the following short a & i words: mad, pad, map, tin, bit, hit, kit, and pig. You should also have them pick out words that rhyme. I am enclosing the paper about the word sorts for spelling and the story “Where is Sam?” and the vocabulary for “Mole’s Hill”. The fundations homework should be at home. As I said before you may keep the papers at home to study. On Friday all you should send back in the folder is the word sort spelling homework, and the short a & i flash cards,
God Bless,

FIRST GRADE HOMEWORK

Dear Parents,
I have included a packet for our Fundations homework (from Barbara Wilson’s Wilson Reading Program). We find it is helpful if you the parents know how we are teaching their children. This way you can reinforce it at home. I will send home future units as we get to them.
I am also sending home a list of the first 10 Dolch Sight Words (high-frequency words that must memorized because they cannot be memorized). Please make flash cards and practice these words daily until your child has instant recall. They need to have automatic recognition of the word for mastery. When your child knows the words in class automatically, I will send home the next set. I suggest that you start with the first five words and when mastered go to the next set.
We have been listening to “Ruby the CopyCat” in class and I am sending home the vocabulary words we have been learning in the story. For fluency practice, we will be reading “Mac and Tab” and “The Big House” this week.
We will be spending time on blending letters, and reviewing beginning and ending sounds as well as blending words with short a. Please have your child write four complete sentences using some of these words. Please make flash cards for the following short a words: bat, cat, fat, hat, mat, pat, rat, sat, and ham. They also have homework for their word study. I put magnetic tape on the back so you may stick it on the fridge. For the next couple of weeks they will be doing a buddy sort by matching pictures to words.I am enclosing the paper about the word sorts for spelling, the dolch list words, the story “Mac and Tab” the vocabulary for “Ruby the Copycat”, and the fundations homework. Please do not be overwhelmed. You may keep the papers at home to study. On Friday you should only send back in the folder: the word sort spelling homework, the short a flash cards, and the book “Mac and Tab” (You may keep “The Big House" to start your reading collection).
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like a meeting.
God Bless,
Nancy Harrison
