Fire Prevention Week - The first graders are learning about fire prevention in connection with the annual observance of fire prevention week (which is October 8-14). We will watch a very good video about fire safety (with a Halloween theme!) and make a fire safety packet that we will work through. (Ask your child about crawling low in smoke and stop, drop, and roll.) Please visit with your child about fire safety in your home. Be sure to practice a fire drill at your home. I will be asking each first grader where their home meeting place is. I am also sending home a fire safety checklist for you and your child to complete and return. And, there are plans for our Creston firefighters to visit during that week!
Language Arts - Please continue to review the high frequency word lists (also known as sight words) that I sent home at the beginning of the school year. They are divided into the weekly lists we learn each week. (We have worked on/learned all the words for Module 1. Currently, working on Module 2.) Go over these as often as possible. These are the words that your child needs to learn. Very few of them can be sounded out. Have your child find them in stories when you read to them. The more “frequently” they practice these words will make them a better, more confident reader.
