Please update your child's attendance everyday. Thank you!
First Grade Spirit Week -- Feel Good Friday!
Do something you enjoy today and share a picture! Here are some examples: play a board game with your family, listen to music, read a book, cook with your family!
Reading:
Today, you are going to look at words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. These words are called homophones. Please take a look at the pictures and examples below.
Here are some examples:
I came across this website and thought I would share --- New Jersey Audubon
A great website for all ages! Experience the outdoors from your couch!

Today, you are going to look at words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. These words are called homophones. Please take a look at the pictures and examples below.
- Homophones worksheet which you will find in the Friday email (put your thinking caps on.....you can do this!) Do not worry about the spelling....I am more interested in you knowing that these words have 2 different meanings.
- Read for 20 minutes from a book from home, Epic Books, or Raz Kids (you might want to use your reading time to help you with your writing assignment).
- Read a nonfiction book about your favorite animal on Epic.
- What if that animal was your pet? What would you name your new pet? What would you do with it? What would you teach it? Where would you take it?
- Be creative and have fun writing your story. Draw a picture of you and your new pet! Remember to use capital letters and end marks!
- Parents, please take a picture and email me your child's work.
- Draw pictures of Easter Eggs. Hide a few spelling words inside each egg picture. See if a person at your house can find all of the words!
- "What Time Is It" worksheet (in Friday email)
- Please do IXL. After logging in, go to Math -- First Grade -- Money (do as many sections of money as you can)
- Take out the "Make Way for Ducklings" newsletter from your folder. Log into Scholastic News as a student. https://sn1.scholastic.com/ Our password is: firstgradenovak
- Then find the March issue of "Make Way for Ducklings". You can watch the video: "It's a Duck". Review the vocabulary words and you might even want to try playing the online game "Go Duck Go".
- Read the newsletter and answer questions (front and back). You will find the newsletter and question paper in the original package that was sent home when we first left school.
A great website for all ages! Experience the outdoors from your couch!
