I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving! I will see you Monday!
What First Grade is Learning the Week of November 26th:
New Sight Words: New sight words for next week are: after, with, there, they, because. Please help your child learn to read, write, and spell our new words.
Language Arts: We will begin the unit in Literacy by Design called Weather Wonders and the theme is called “Weather for Every Season.” Our vocabulary words will be: outdoors, rainfall, and drop. We will learn about monitoring our understanding (when something doesn’t make sense when we are reading, what can we do?), fairy tales, and understanding dialogue. In writing, we will continue to work on what good writers do (such as using punctuation, capital letters, and making sure sentences make sense). Students should be ready to write stories about things that have happened in their lives.
Math: Next week we are finishing our unit “Solving Story Problems.” We will review the difference between addition and subtraction problems, practice putting numbers in order, and practice showing many ways to represent a number (for example, you could show the number 8 by writing the word eight, drawing a picture of 8 items, make 8 tally marks, and list addition and subtraction sentences with eight as the answer).
Social Studies: We will continue our unit in Social Studies called “Everything Changes.” We will be learning about inventions and how they make life easier. We will learn about transportation and communication then and now.
Things to work on at Home: Please work with your child at home on counting by ones, tens, fives, and twos to 100 or greater.
Special Notes:
*Reminder: There is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday (November 21st- 23rd). Happy Thanksgiving!
