Baker 1st Grade Weekly Update
November 6th, 2026
Happy Friday!
We had a busy week in 1st Grade learning and growing!
Please see below for what we practiced this week:
Phonics- Sneaky E
Reading- Nursery Rhymes
Social Studies- Voting!
Math-Addition and Subtraction Problems
Science-Marble Maze
As a reminder:
The Guided Reading folder contains a Sight Words Practice Sheet, as well as a reader for your student to read and practice at home. This book should be a book your child can read with you without frustration. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions!
On a weekly basis, your child will RETURN the folder on MONDAYS and will bring it home on TUESDAYS with a new book. Thank you for your help in this!
As a special note, please have students to leave all toys, squishies, Pokemon cards, etc... at home. Not only does it cause a distraction, these special things may get lost or broken. Thank you for your help in this!
Please see the section below for a few reminders!
Reminders:
The green take home folder contains optional monthly homework, as well as a sight word practice sheet and a phonics take home sheet. The phonics sheet directly aligns with our in class phonics instruction, and gives you practical ways to support at home. This folder also serves as a communication tool between you and your child's teacher- any notes or comments on behavior that needs addressed will be in this folder. A smiley face or stamp means it was a great day!
If possible, please send in a pair of over the ear headphones with your child to use during our Chromebook time this year. These headphones will stay at school and will be returned at the end of the school year. This will ensure that we can use our Chromebooks for learning activities. Thank you!
We love celebrating birthdays in 1st grade but we do have a few reminders! We cannot allow birthday treats to be given out during class. If you would like to send something with your student it needs to be something store bought and sealed that they can send home with the class at the end of the day (examples include goldfish packs, fruit snacks or little goody bags). Thank you for your support!
Baker Elementary needs you to help with our Scholastic Book Fair! Our Scholastic Book Fair will be delivered the week of November 6th. Mrs. Busbee could definitely use your help making this a wonderful and fun experience for our students and staff! We are looking for volunteers to help with decorating the hallways and the book fair space starting Monday, November 9th. We will provide the fun and decorations and all we need is YOU! We also look forward to help with our Book Fair Preview for classes on Thursday and Friday, November 12th and 13th as well as when the Book Fair is open Monday, November 16th through Friday, November 20th. Please take a look at the time slots below and let us know when and where you can help. We appreciate you very much and could not make this experience happen without YOUR HELP! Thank you for offering your time to volunteer for our Book Fair!
