FIRST GRADE NEWS

 

 

THE HOLIDAY EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING! "SPARKY" THE ELF HAS ARRIVED.  YOU CAN ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT HIM AND HIS ANTICS EACH DAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS BREAK.

 

THIS WEEK WE WILL FINISH OUR WORK ON STORY 2, "THE FARMER IN THE HAT." THE SPELLING PRACTICE TEST WILL BE TUESDAY. THOSE CHILDREN WHO DON'T EARN A 100, WILL HAVE A RETEST ON WEDNESDAY.  THE CHILDREN WILL ALSO BE ASSESSED ON THE STORY SKILLS ON WEDNESDAY: THE H/F WORDS, LONG A WORDS AND WORDS WITH C THAT SOUNDS LIKE S AND G THAT SOUNDS LIKE J.  PLUS THEY WILL READ A STORY AND ANSWER COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS.

 

IN MATH WE WILL KEEP WORKING ON ADDITION FACTS WITH SUMS UP TO 20.  IN SCIENCE WE WILL DISCUSS WEIGHT/MASS AND THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE.  WE WILL ALSO CUT AND USE THE SCIENCE "SMARTCARDS."

 

AT THIS TIME WE WILL TRY OUR BEST TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF WRITING ACTIVITY EACH DAY.  THESE ACTIVITIES/LESSONS MIGHT BE DURING LANGUAGE ARTS, MATH, SCIENCE OR RELATE TO A SEASONAL TOPIC.  I WILL TRY TO HAVE CHILDREN BRING HOME SOME OF THEIR WRITING TO SHARE WITH YOU.
