Please remember that homework comes home on Monday and will be due the following Monday. Be sure to send the poem back so we can put them in our fluency folders. Remember, time spent reading the poem can count as reading minutes on your child's reading log. Also, all students need to master the first 25 sight words by the end of the quarter, so please be sure to work on those at home, as well. As always, first graders need to read sixty minutes a week.
Next week, your child will be coming home with unit one's math test. Please take time to look over this with your child to see what he/she missed. Please work on any skills missed with your child at home.
Your child will be coming home with a midterm today. Please take a moment to look it over, cut off the bottom, sign and return it.
If you would like to order from Scholastic, you can follow the link to the right of this post to get to our class page. There will be a paper flyer coming home today with our class code on it, as well.
Word Work/Phonics
This week we started a new sort. We also learned the sight words very, after, thing, our, just. We learned the sound that the digraph "th" makes and the sound that the blend "gl" makes.
Writing
This week we continued work in our narrative stories. We learned how to tell a story in sequence and how to use the strategy of sketching a story to plan. We learned how to add details to our story to make our writing more interesting.
This week we learned what key details are and why they're important in a text. We also learned how to ask questions about the key details in a text. As you read at home with your child, ask your child to ask you questions about key details in the text, as well as what the key details are.
This week we learned about the relationship between the structure of an animal's body part and its function.
Social Studies
This week we learned about habit 4 - think win-win. Ask your child about this habit at home!
We also wrote letters to Dr. Reich to let her know which 7 habits sign we want in our hallway! Be sure to keep an eye out to see what sign we get. We also made covers for our Leadership Notebooks and worked in our Leadership Notebooks.
