Congratulations! We made it through the first week of first grade. We have had a lot of fun this week learning routines and procedures, reading lots of stories and practicing counting to 100!
Thank you for signing behavior sheet in the daily communication folder and helping your child with their homework. We will share the homework today and next week will will have 3 students per day share their Me bags. After they share their Me bags, students will take the bags home.
What we will be learning next week (week of July 17th) :
Reading--We will be working on choosing "good fit" books and practicing read to self to build our reading stamina. Students will make connections to the read aloud texts by writing about how they should react in a situation.
Writing--We will continue to work on picking a small moment out of our lives to write about using multiple sentences and transition words (first, next, then, finally). We will also focus on when to use capital letters.
Math--We will explore numbers to 120 and work on using 120 boards to find one more or one less than a number. We will use number lines, unifex cubes and drawings to count on and complete number splashes.
Social Studies--We are learning about the first grade experts and how to become a first grade expert. Last week, we met responsible Ryan and really safe Rita. This week we will meet ready to learn Robert and respectful Rachel.
