This week in 1st Grade!

 

This week:

I will be sending out Spring Conference notes and times today. Please be sure to sign and confirm the time, or request an alternate time for us to meet about your child.

Guided Reading: I have seen a lot of kids reading every night and that makes me smile! Remember the best way to get better at something is to practice, practice, practice! There are some days where reading logs do not get passed out due to changes in a schedule and a hectic afternoon. If be chance it doe snot get home, please just write it in the planner that your child read and what book they read. Thank you!

Groups will continue. We are presently introducing reading comprehension passages. Students are practicing reading passages and proving their answers; as well as, inferring their own reasonable answers in writing. We have been reading and doing this together. They will have to complete one independently next week.

Word Work: Contractions and their meaning. This helps with comprehending what the child is reading.

Math: We will conclude our pattern unit and use what we learned in number patterns to begin counting in groups.

Writing/Science: Our study of Dental Hygiene and Dental Awareness will begin. We will discuss how to care for our teeth and discover what happens if we don’t. They will be doing a fun and informative science experiment in research center!

Spelling: could, see, time, like, him, no, make, than, first, been. A spelling preview was given today and their test will be tomorrow! PLEASE STUDY the spelling preview!

The Chocolate Fundraiser was cancelled and I hope you all got the note and were able to make arrangements and refund the money if you had already sold some. We were sad to lose this awesome opportunity to raise money for our school but I hope you got it all taken care of 🙂
