FIRST GRADE NEWS
THE PARTY'S OVER! IT'S BACK TO WORK. HOPE THE CHILDREN MISSED ME A LITTLE, CAUSE I MISSED THEM.
THIS WEEK WE WILL BE READING ABOUT DINOSAURS. A HERD OF DINOSAURS TO BE EXACT. THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION IS "HOW DOES LIVING IN A COMMUNITY HELP ANIMALS?
WE WILL BE STUDYING LONG O WORDS IN SPELLING. IF THE WEATHER COOPERATES, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PRACTICE TEST ON THURSDAY AND THE RETEST ON FRIDAY.
WE WILL ALSO BE STUDYING CONTRACTIONS THIS WEEK. WE WILL TRY TO WRITE EITHER SENTENCES OR PARAGRAPHS IN OUR JOURNALS EACH DAY. WE WILL BE ENTERING A CONTEST FOR "NEWSPAPERS IN EDUCATION WEEK" AND EACH CHILD WILL DRAW A PICTURE AND WRITE A SENTENCE ABOUT WHICH KIND OF BOOKS THEY LIKE TO READ.
IN MATH WE WILL BEGIN TOPIC 6 - SUBTRACTION FACTS UP TO 20.
THERE ARE ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS IN THE 2ND MARKING PERIOD. YES, REPORT CARDS WILL COME HOME THE LAST WEEK OF JANUARY!
ALSO - CHILDREN WILL BE TAKING DIBELS TEST DURING THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. THIS WILL GIVE US AN INDICATION OF THEIR PROGRESS IN READING AND SHOW AREAS OF STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS.
