Hello! This will be a busy week in first grade. As a reminder this week there is no school on Thursday, September 25th. Picture day is tomorrow, Wednesday, September 24th.
We are reading the book Stellaluna by Janell Cannon. We read the book to introduce the strategy "look for a part you know." We practiced taking apart words together. We also are reading the book to discuss the character trait "courageous" because the main character was courageous when he saved the baby birds at night.
The popcorn words this week are: a, as, at, am, and, I. We will practice in class and students should have brought the words home last night.
In math, we have been working on writing numbers, playing top-it in a small group and number stories. Monday of next week we will be ready for our first unit test. Also students received their everyday math online log in. Please take some time to go onto the website www.everydaymathonline.com and practice a few games with your child.
In Social Studies we will be reading and learning about Rules. We will discuss the concept of fair and unfair.
In writing, we are working on stretching words and writing the sounds we hear. We read a book yesterday by Donald Crews called Trucking and we practiced labeling our pictures. We will begin using a letter chart to help with writing the sounds and letters in the words we don't know how to spell.
Please look for a note asking parents to send an apple to school next week for some fun Apple Math!
Thank you,
Mrs. Scheck
