Math: If a student has to retake a math quiz, we will make them up the

 next day. Our ice cream party will be Friday, May 28^th so we need to have

finished all of our facts up to 10! They are doing a great job and

 I am very proud of everyone!

 

Monday   Spelling Words: No Spelling Words! We are working on special book report task cards daily.

Friday      Simple Solutions Math & English Quiz (# 129 – 132)

 Math facts quiz 7’s

Something sweet is about to happen in first grade!!!!!

The

students will be given a few minutes to write down the answers to the facts on their sheet of

 paper. This Wednesday, we will start with ones.  ( 1 + 1 = _____ ) All of the one’s math facts will be on

 there up to ten. Flash cards are being sent home in their binders for you to practice the facts with them.

They must get all of the answers correct to move to the next test. So, for example, if they do not get all of

 the one’s math facts correct on Wednesday, they will take it again with the two’s test on Friday.

 ( Additional time will be given to those students.)  If they get 2 behind on tests, they will be able to take the

 test during silent reading to catch up with the class. The tests will be graded and sent home the day they

are given so you will know if you need to practice that test with them before they need to retake it. For every set of

tests passed, they will earn a part of an ice cream sundae. ( one’s will earn you a napkin, two’s will earn you a

spoon, three’s will earn you a dish, four’s will earn the first scoop of ice cream, etc. )When all of the tests are passed,

we will have an ice cream sundae party during the last week of May or last week of school. The date will be set for

sure soon and will be posted on here! I am very excited for this and the students are too! Remember this can be

a very fun experience! Practice facts every chance you can! During breakfast, on the ride to school, during dinner,

 or during commercials for extra minutes of T.V. time! Make a special time where facts are reviewed every night.

 If you have any questions or concerns, please email me! Have fun! J
