Week of January 12-16

This week in first grade we are busy wrapping up the first semester of our school year.

I have continued to assess students in reading.  I will continue into next week with assessing and return to groups as soon as possible.

We read the book Sheep out to Eat and used visualizing as a stategy for comprehension during the story.  We also used the story to think about -ee and -ea sounds in words,  we played a fun memory game with rhyming words. We will read The Empty Pot to discuss the character traits: wise and honest. 

In math, we have completed unit 4 on measurement.  We have begun the quarterly assessment today. We will complete it tomorrow and begin unit 5 next week. Look for the family letter and begin practicing facts for addition and subtraction at home.

In science, we have completed the solids and liquids kit. We learned this week about solids and liquids together, evaporation and a little about the water cycle.

In writing we have begun to explore how to writing, we looked at books with how to's in them. We wrote a how to together.  Tomorrow we will write our own how to.

There is no school Friday or Monday.  

Have a good night, 

Mrs. Scheck
