This week in first grade, we are getting excited for Valentine's Day. Our party is this Friday at 1:30. We will exchange cards, make sundaes and play bingo. Please be sure your child brings in cards for everyone if they wish to give out Valentines.
In writing this week, we are getting ready to publish one of our how To's. We have practiced adding a warning to our writing and putting colons, commas and periods into our writing. We will wrap up this unit after the mid winter break.
In social studies this week, we read the book The Money Tree. We discussed the difference between wants and needs. We came up with needs as: food, shelter and clothing. The students had no problem imagining what their "wants" are!
In math, we have been furthering our fact power. Students have learned how to double a number and use an addition table. We learned a trick for adding doubles plus one and doubles plus two.
We will learn "what's my rule" and wrap up this unit when we return from the break.
The popcorn words this week are: car, arm, farm, star, are, cart. We are focusing on short and long "a" this week. We have begun to notice some words have silent e which helps the vowel say it's name.
Guided reading books are coming home, please be sure and send the book back they next day even if your child doesn't get time to read.
As a reminder, we are off from school next week for February break!
Thank you,
Mrs. Scheck
