Week of 5/8

Dear First Grade Families,

We have wrapped up another busy week in first grade! On Tuesday and Thursday, students took a math and reading assessment on the iPads.  Changes in routine tend to shake things up quite a bit! 

This week in math...
-We continued learning about shapes, dividing shapes into equal parts, and practiced adding and subtracting 10 on the number grid. We also did some number grid puzzles.

This week in writing...
-We continued writing poetry.
-We practiced writing sentences that start with an uppercase letter and end with punctuation. We practiced spelling our trick words correctly.

This week in reading...
-We continued learning about adding suffixes to VCE words, i.e., bikes, votes.
-We practiced reading nonsense words.

This week in science/social studies..
-We learned about maps and where we live.
-We did some journaling about the grass seed that we planted.

Today, students chose their characters for the character study. Please look for the paper in your child's red folder. If the character is from a bookie series, I put it in parenthesis so that you can find it more easily. Please do not stress about costumes, they are supposed to be pretty simple! Here's a picture from the 2021-22 school year!
