This week
- Reading – Kevin Henkes author study
- Phonics – ABC order — we will do this by putting our names, word wall words, candy wrappers, books, etc. in ABC order (This is the skill that will be tested on the back of our spelling test this week)
- Spelling – what, all, were, when — spelling test Friday!
- Writing – Continue to focus on characters, how their feelings change, and the beginning, middle, and end of a story
- Math – Lots of review! Please continue to go over addition and subtraction with your kiddo at home! When doing homework or extra practice, have your child circle the sign in the number sentence so that they will focus on what operation they need to perform (+ or -). We are really working on SLOWING DOWN so that we don’t make careless errors during math such as miscounting, adding when we are supposed to subtract/subtracting when we are supposed to add, writing numbers backward, etc. We will also review strategies, measurement, and graphing! Math benchmark Friday!
- Science – Fun unit on force with a focus on magnets!
-
- The students will get to visit the other 1st grade teachers on a rotation to learn a different force/motion/magnet activity! They are going to LOVE this… Switching classes like big kids!
