First Grade Sight Words:
These words are introduced and practiced at school. Near the end of each month, students will be asked to read the words to me. I will send home a copy of this paper so you know which words your child still needs to recognize by sight. It is not necessary that students have the spellings of these words memorized, although that is something to work on if your child can read all of the words easily. I have a sight word game available that you can play with your child at home to learn the words if needed. Please let me know if you'd like me to send home a copy.

Bible Memory:
We work on the memory verse in school, but for many of them, I will need your help at home as well. We learn approximately one new verse per month. Some families have found it helpful to keep a copy of the verse in the car and review it while traveling from place to place. I will let you know in the newsletter when the verse is due. If your child needs more time, please just let me know.
This is the memory work we are currently working on for the month of January:
