Upcoming Events for October 31st- November 4th

Here’s a Sneak Peek at Next Week:

THANK YOU!

Thank you for meeting with me for parent teacher conferences! It was great to discuss your child's progress in first grade. Please keep up the hard work!

Learning Objectives

• Reading: We will be continue  the practice of retelling a fictional story. Students will describe what happened in the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
• Writing: We will write fictional stories about silly things that happen to our class.  We are working on writing sentences with capital letters, spaces between words, and ending marks. I encourage students to be fearless spellers. This means they sound out unknown words or look to the Word Wall for assistance. 
• Math: We will finish up Unit 3 and take the assessment on Thursday. This unit covers story problems, addition, and subtraction. 
• Social Studies: Our class will finish rotating to each first grade teacher to learn about different fall topics (spiders, bats, scarecrows, pumpkins, and skeletons). We will discuss elections and what a local government does for the remainder of the week.
• Character:  Anti-Bullying lessons

1.) Math Homework: Workbook pages 97-98

2.) Reading Comprehension Worksheet (Ian's Pumpkin)

3.) Have your child read the leveled books that are sent home (please return these the NEXT day because we need them for our reading group)
