Hi there my wonderful first-grade families! 🙂
Math: Homework is from and to be completed through their Into Math homework/practice book! It will be shared on ClassDojo what the math homework is for that night each day! Our morning work has been working through our Simple Solutions workbooks. We have been working hard throughout our module workbooks, and have been learning more and more about math especially in Module 8 where we have been learning about picture graphs, we will learn about bar graphs, and how we collect or show data through them!
****Please ensure your child is doing their homework each day as it has been more practice for what we have been working on, and it has been helping them with their OWN learning!
Wilson: We have been hard at work with our Wilson program. We have started Unit 7, this is a longer unit! We have been learning about suffixes, especially with the -s. We have been building on that knowledge and learning about our base words and then how we can make them plural! We have been talking about nouns and verbs, and building on that same knowledge! 🙂
Spelling: We will not be having a spelling test this coming week due to it being a shortened week! We will have our test after all the shortened weeks. Thank you for understanding!!! 🙂
Social Studies: This week, we focused more on talking about science. The students have been able to show their scientific knowledge while speaking, hoping it will build more and more especially at home! We have gone into a deeper dive with learning more and more about maps, and then speaking more on the events of history! 🙂 We also discussed what a citizen is and how we can connect to being a good one with our own duties! And we have been keeping track of the Olympics and how those work and what goes on during the each of the events!
Religion: We have been hard at work learning about how we can be a follower of God and Jesus Christ. We have been working through our Religion books each day and discussing how God is present in our lives and how we can show his love in our lives.
Science: We have been discussing every single day during morning meeting, the weather! We have discussed about heating and cooling and how we can do that with chemical/physical changes. The students have been able to talk about changes, traits, and so much more! The students have been able to share and show their scientific knowledge when in discussions–please let them share what they have learned about at home! We have really been focusing on social studies this past week though!
Reading: We have been noticing on how in stories–they do start with capital letters, finger spacing, and punctuation! We have been spending a lot more time working on writing to connect to what we have learned about during those said stories! We are also so still very grateful to continue to have Storytime with our volunteering librarian, Mrs. Flood, on Thursday’s as well! 🙂
We have been working EXTREMELY hard with our comprehension (remembering what is going on/happening throughout the story!) We have also been reading a book and then writing a story/a page about it!!! **Remember to keep filling out those reading logs! 🙂
Once again, if you are interested in being a Mystery Guest Reader, please just let me know! 🙂
Star Student will begin again the week of the 23rd! (Just so that they have the full week to be the STAR STUDENT! 🙂
And as always, I am so grateful to have your child in my 1st grade classroom with me! 🙂
