First Grade News
Week of November 9th-13th
Religion: Students learned about Martin Luther and Reformation last week. This week students will learn about Solomon and Jehoshaphat.
Memory:
Monday: All of Luther’s Morning Prayer I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that you have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into your hands I commend myself, my body and soul and all things. Let your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
(Most of the children were already saying this last week. I know this seems like a lot, but I think they should be able to get it.)
Tuesday: Hymn of the Month: Nearer, My God, to Thee v1:
Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me,
Wednesday: Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.
Thursday: All of verse 1 (Tuesday and Wednesday’s assignment)

Reading: This week will begin Unit 4: Our Neighborhood at Work. Students will be learning about the different jobs in a community. Sounds introduced this week are /y/, /v/, /l/ spelled –le, and long a spelled a and a_e. High frequency words for this week are: yes, all, were. Vocabulary words used in this week’s stories are: protecting, delivering, volunteer, and steel. We will continue talking about different types of sentences. This week exclamatory sentences (sentences that show excitement) will be introduced. There will be a test on Thursday. (This change is due to Grandparents’ Day.) A home activity will be sent home on Monday. It needs to be returned by Friday.

Science: There will be a science test on Wednesday over Chapter 2. The leveled readers that were sent home and the worksheet packet are great study tools. I do have a leveled reader that was left on my table. If your child does not have one in their folder, please let me know. I will send it back home.
