FIRST GRADE NEWS
THIS WEEK SUMMER ENDS AND FALL BEGINS. WE WILL ALSO HAVE A NORTH SCHUYLKILL PEP RALLY ON FRIDAY, SEPT. 23RD.
WE WILL BEGIN LESSON 3 IN SPELLING. WE WILL FINISH READING THE STORY, "PIG IN A WIG" AND BEGIN THE NEW STORY, "THE BIG BLUE OX." WE HAVE BEEN STUDYING SENTENCES AND WILL NOW BEGIN LEARNING ABOUT THE TWO PARTS OF SENTENCES; BEGINNING WITH THE NAMING PARTS AND, THEN, THE ACTION PART. WE WILL BE PRACTICING THE H/F WORDS: TAKE, AND, UP. WE WILL BE READING THE DECODABLE READER, "FIX IT!"
IN MATH WE WILL BE DOING WORD PROBLEMS AND GOING OVER THE STEPS TO FINDING THE ANSWERS. WE WILL IDENTIFY MORNING, AFTERNOON; FIRST, LAST; BETWEEN, MIDDLE; FIRST, SECOND, THIRD. WE WILL ACT OUT "SOME, SOME MORE AND SOME, SOME WENT AWAY STORIES. WE WILL IDENTIFY TRIANGLES AND, ALSO, HOW MANY SIDES AND ANGLES THEY HAVE. WE WILL SORT SHAPES BY ONE ATTRIBUTE. FINALLY ON FRIDAY, WE WILL WORK WITH GEOBOARDS TO MAKE SHAPES AND IDENTIFY INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO PRACTICE WRITING NUMERALS.
WE WILL TAKE TIME TO WRITE IN OUR JOURNALS, AT LEAST TWICE THIS WEEK. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH EXPERIMENTS ON BALANCE AND MOTION(IN SCIENCE). WE WILL BALANCE TRIANGLES AND ARCHES ON CLOTHESPINS AND PREDICT WHICH WILL STAND AND WHICH WILL FALL. WE MAY POSSIBLY DO THE PENCIL TRICK EXPERIMENT THIS WEEK ALSO.
ON FRIDAY WE WILL STUDY THE WEEKLY READER AND STUDENTS WILL GET THEIR FRIDAY FOLDERS. PLEASE TAKE TIME TO LOOK AT ALL PAPERS IN THE FOLDER. MOST CAN STAY AT HOME. THEN SIGN THE WEEKLY EVALUATION FORM AND THE BACK OF THE FRIDAY FOLDER AND RETURN TO SCHOOL ON MONDAY.
OVERALL, I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH THE CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR. THEY ARE TRYING HARD TO FOLLOW CLASS RULES. WE ARE WORKING HARD TO LISTEN CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. FOR SOME THIS IS DIFFICULT; BUT, WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME LEFT TO WORK ON THESE SKILLS.
