Hi there!
We are missing Valentina's Gym sweatshirt. Could you please double check your child's Gym sweatshirt to see if you have Valentina's by accident?
Thank you!
Hello everyone!
I hope you enjoyed the long weekend, it is nice to have an extra day off! I am so proud of how hard our first graders worked on the MAP tests! They were very focused and worked very well in the computer lab! This week seems to be a quiet one which I always like! I look forward to seeing you all at the HSA meeting this Wednesday at 7:00. The link is in the Family envelope.
Enjoy your week!
Here is the line-up for the week ahead:
Language Arts: How does everyone in my family and community make them special?
This week our focus skill will be identifying the setting of the stories we read, when and where a story takes place. We will be able to prove that through the text and the pictures in our stories. From there, we will be able to retell or summarize the story in OUR own words. These are great skills that you can work on with the stories that you read at night.
In Phonics, we are going to work on the short o sound. We will combine the short o sound with ending sounds to make word families. We will then interchange the short vowel sounds that we have learned so far. We will build new words with short a, short i and now short o.
Our Grammar skill is to use adjectives that describe color and number when we are writing. Our final project will be a descriptive writing sample that will show the use of adjectives to describe the nouns in our stories. Can you believe all this in FIRST grade :)
Our Power words are: canvas, decorated, gloom, places, clinic, dipped, heart, purpose, community, gazed, town, map.
Our HF words are: do, wants, live, what, of, with, our, your. Please review these each night!
Our Spelling words for 10/19 test are: log, not, top, hot, hop, on, big, sit, pig, dig, shop, block.
Math: We are working on our facts through 20. We have been using ten frames to help us add on as well as looking for addends that make ten. As always, please continue to practice addition facts through 20 each night. When reviewing, please encourage counting on from the HIGHER addend, again, this will help with fluency with the math facts.
Religion: This week we will learn how to be understanding of the differences in others. We need to accept people for who they are and celebrate the qualities that make us unique! We are all created in His image and likeness! Take the time to celebrate the qualities that make your child special!
Science: This week we will learn about habitats. We will compare and contrast a forest, a wetland, an ocean and a desert. We will then move into learning about life cycles! We will learn that living things can grow and change in different ways.
