Hi there my wonderful families!,
Math: Math homework is being checked every single morning. Each day when homework is assigned, it will be coming from that Into Math homework/practice book! The next day, I will be checking their work! Please ensure that your child is completing their work:) This week we built our knowledge on Math and addition! The kids completed their Unit 3 Test and we will be moving towards Unit 5! We are cruising through it all! We are some Smart Cookies, forsure! 🙂
Wilson: We have been hard at work with our Wilson program. We have been working hard on Unit 4 and we will finish it completely after Thanksgiving break!
Spelling: These tests will be given every Friday. New lists will be sent home each week. No Spelling Test this coming week due to the shortened week of Thanksgiving break!
Social Studies: This week, we discussed the rules and the laws that we have within a community, and why they are important. We also explored what a government is, what it does, and why it is important! We also were able to explore the maps that we have in the classroom! We talked about the different cultures, traditions, and beliefs that people do! We will continue discussing this before Thanksgiving break!
Religion: In religion, we have been hard at work talking about God’s love and how important it is! We just starting talking about the Commandments and how we should be finally them——every single day of our lives!!
Science: We have been discussing every single day during morning meeting, the weather! With the seasons changing, we talk about what it looks like and feels like outside! We will be going deeper into science after Thanksgiving break!
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 week, we will be using our tools of compare and contrast to follow along the adventures and experiences of characters in such stories! 🙂
No Mystery Guest Reader or Star Student this coming week due to it being a shortened week because of Thanksgiving Break! Once again, 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. 🙂
