Weekly Assignments

Assignments for week of 3/23 - 3/27

Good afternoon, First Graders and Families!

These are the assignments for the week. I’ll be posting teaching videos to go with some of the lessons. I’m also including a suggested schedule for assignments, because several parents have requested one. Most first graders seem to work better in the morning. I would suggest starting with Journal writing, them moving on to Reading, Phonics, and Spelling. After lunch or morning snack, work on Math. Save Science, Social Studies, Art, and Religion for afternoons. I would spend no more then 10 to 15 minutes on any lesson.

I realize I’m behind for this week, and I apologize. Please adjust to help you fit in what you can. Going forward, this will be the format for assignments until we return to school.
