Hi there my wonderful families!,
First grade has been eventful and very busy especially with all the energy of Halloween!!!!!!
Math: Math workbooks have been sent home. Each day when homework is assigned, it will be coming from that Into Math book! The next day, I will be checking their work! Please ensure that your child is completing their work:) There is no math homework for this weekend, but starting next week, math tests will be given more. The night before the test, I will send home a worksheet for the kids to complete so that they are better prepared for this test!
Wilson: We have been hard at work with our Wilson program. We have been cruising through Unit 3. Please ensure that you are going through the sounds and letters with your child! We will finally begin Week 2 of Unit 3 next week. This will include taking our unit 3 test.
Spelling: These tests will be given every Friday. New lists will be sent home each week. We did do our second test today because it has been these words that we have done through our Wilson program!
I sent home the lists today with your child! This coming week’s words are
Quick, man, fan, shell, and ham.
Sentences:
1.) They ran from the back of the mall.
2.) Does she have the pan for Rick?
Please practice saying and spelling the words. Focusing on uppercase and lowercase letters! Please focus on the sentences as well! 🙂
Social Studies: We finished talking about roles in the community and jobs in the government! This coming week, we will be discussing the rules and the guidelines of a community. We will also been discussing the fairness in rules, and how rules gives us order and protects our rights that we all have!
Science: We have been talking about animals and adaptations through Generation Science, which is our Science Program! We also have been discussing communication with sounds in the world! We will be diving more into fall-how things change with the weather (example: the leaves falling and changing colors!) And so much more!
Reading: We have been reading different types of books talking through emotions and what happens through the book in our own words! We also have been talking about informational texts versus fictional! We are very grateful to have Storytime with our volunteering librarian (Mrs. Flood) on Thursday’s as well! This coming week, we will be using our tools of compare and contrast to follow along the adventures and experiences of characters in such stories!
I was hoping to start Mystery Guest Readers and Star Student of the week for next week but unfortunately, with having Friday 11/7 off, I don’t think it’s fair to have that day taken away from them! I promise I will be sending the information out and getting it started asap! If you are interested in being a Mystery Guest Reader, please just let me know!
And as always, I am so grateful to have your child in my 1st grade classroom with me!
Thank you so very much for all you do,
Miss M. 🙂
I am still struggling to upload pictures, so I will edit this newsletter once I can post the pictures!
**Have a great and safe Halloween!!!!!! 🙂
