1st Grade Homework Letter Week of April 19-23
NO NEW WORDS or HOMEWORK THIS WEEK!
This week in the classroom:
We are taking the week off from new words and reading story due to TCAP
testing in grades 3-5 and DIBEL testing in grades K-2. The DIBELS test is a
test the students take 3 times a year to monitor progress, so this is the
last time this year we will be taking them. We will also be taking a Unit
test from Unit 4 reading series.

PENNIES FOR PLAYGROUND! We are about to install new playground equipment and
need to boost the Pennies for playground fundraiser to help. Please send in

**Show-n-Tell**
The topic for this week’s Show-n-Tell is:
What you like to do at home to have fun!
Tips for making yours the BEST Show-n-Tell:
The key to a good show and tell speech is to choose something unusual that
relates somehow to your interests:
• an wooden spoon if you like to cook
• a rubber boot if you like to hike
• a beach towel if you like to swim
• a sky map if you love to look at the stars
• a road map if you travel
• a fishing lure if you fish.
Any object can be used if you have interesting information to present with
it. Have a good time showing and telling, and your listeners will enjoy it
too!
