 Please check to see that you are turning in 2 practice spelling tests and 3 sentences (using three different spelling words) along with your math homework each Friday.  We have several students that are only turning in 1 practice test.  Also please have your child use the attached writing paper that is with the homework packet to write their spelling assignments on.  First graders should not be writing on notebook paper at this time.  They need to learn to write on the lines correctly on first grade paper.

Thanks for your continued help on this assignment.

 

Please remember to sign your child's notebook each night and return it to school every day.
