Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and wish you all a Happy New Year! It was great being back and seeing all of the beautiful, happy, smiling faces today. 

Here is what is going on in grade 1 this week, our first week of the New Year:

Dress for the weather: please send the students dressed in hats, mitts/gloves, boots and snowpants. They need these to play outside in the snow. 

Library: we will be going to the library tomorrow. Students will keep their books for a week and return them next Tuesday to sign out another. 

Homework: 

• Read a levelled book (or two) and log it each night. Remember to use your strategies. 
• Sight words/ letters: continue to practice what is sent home each night. 
• Play a math game/ activity each night. I will be sending home new math games later this week. 
• Return the levelled books on Friday. 
• Remember to send back the agenda and 'bring back' 'keep home' folder to school each day.

Happy 2023!! Let's have a wonderful start to the New Year grade 1!!
