April 30th
Hello,
Here comes May! I am hoping the weather cooperates and we keep getting those warmer temps. I am going to be sending home all winter gear that is still in their lockers: snow pants, boots, mittens, hats, etc. Be on the lookout for those. If you are still missing items please check out the school's lost and found, there are a lot of items in there!
Upcoming Events:
May 7th: PSC Meeting
May 22nd: Family Night
May 25th and 28th: No School
May 30st: 1st Grade Field Trip
Reading: In reading this week we are continuing to work in our nonfiction book clubs. We will be talking about how we can compare the books that we are studying. In our books we will also mark expert words in the text and think about what they mean. We will be ending the week with talking about how to present to our groups, how when we read them something we wrote about our books we use an expert voice.
Writing: In writing this week we are continuing our writing projects. Students are starting to write within their genre. We will be talking about how to grow in our writing by looking at texts that are in that genre that we really like and learning from those, working within our group to make our writing stronger, and by creating checklists within our groups to make our writing the best that it can be!
Word Study: Words are coming home again this week to study! They are say, each, between, many, down. We are also working on adding the -ed and -ing suffix in word study.
Math: In math this week we are continuing to work in Unit 7: Time, Shapes, and Measuring. We are focusing on telling time on analog clocks and digital clocks. We have been practicing telling time when it is a new hour and at the end of this week we will start practicing telling time to the half hour.
Social Studies: This week we are creating our own classroom market. Each student is choosing a good or service that they want to sell. We will be making advertisements, signs, goods, and using pretend money.
Let me know if you have any questions!
