Hello families!
This has been a busy week in First grade!
In reading we read a big book called A Rumble and a Grumble. The students noticed the story had a repeating phrase. We read the book and looked for "bossy r" words. We have worked with ir, ur and or words the last two weeks.
We have begun a new unit in Social Studies called "Earning and Spending." Today we read the book Bearhide and Crow. We discussed trading or exchanging. We learned that a good trade can only happen when both people end up getting something they want!
In writing, we have been working on learning craft techniques. We read Do Like Kyla by Angela Johnson. We learned how to write a many moments story. We have also learned how to put a comeback line or repeating phrase in a story. Students are still learning when to use ellipses or "dot, dot, dot." Students have been trying these new techniques and I am seeing great improvements in their writing!
In math, we had a math assessment for Unit 5. The students begin Unit 6 today. A family letter was sent home. We will begin telling time to the hour today. The first math journal will come home today. There may be some pages that were not completed in class. A good idea would be to keep the old math journal and work on those pages anytime you feel your child may need a little "homework" or extra practice!
The Valentine's day party is next week on February 14th at 1:15-2:15. If you have any questions, please email me.
Have a good night!
Mrs. Scheck
