1st GRADE ACTIVITIES/EVENTS 

OTHER 1st GRADE INFORMATION 

• NEW!!  iPad Spelling and Spell Texting - A new way to review Spelling Words 
  • As part of the students' Spelling Word Review, the students normally say, spell, and sort each of their Spelling Words.  We're going to try something new!  In addition to sorting their Spelling Words, the students will be asked to write the Spelling Words in the fields at the top of their "phone" and then "text" them to a classmate.  Check out the links below!
