Upcoming Events for September 11th-15th

Here’s a Sneak Peek at Next Week:

Learning Objectives









  • Reading: What are the habits of a  good reader? We will learn about the Eagle Eye strategy (look at the pictures to solve unknown words) and Lips the Fish strategy (get your mouth ready to make the first letter sound). We will build endurance with Read to Self, Read to Someone, Word Work, and Listen to Reading. We will study the short "u" vowel. We will practice reading, sorting, writing, and spelling during Word Study time. 
  • Writing: We will write stories about what we do with our friends. We will learn how to add more details to our illustrations and sentences. We are working on writing sentences with capital letters, spaces between words, and ending marks. 
  • Math:  We will continue to build and decompose numbers 1-10. We will add and subtract numbers 1-10. We will continue to review shapes and patterns. We will introduce even/odd numbers and discuss equal shares. We will take the Unit 1 Assessment at the end of the week.
  • Social Studies: We will begin our study on maps. Students will be expected to know cardinal directions (North, South, East, West), how to construct a simple map, and how to read a map using a map key/legend.
  • Character:  How can we find solutions and not blame? How can I be an AES Star and "Act Kindly"?

2.) Practice Sight Words
3.) Read leveled reader books (sent home on Friday, September 8th)

 **If your child cannot tie their shoes, please practice this skill at home. In first grade we need to do this skill independently!

**The students are doing a great job reading and writing independently!



**The students have started their class jobs. Two students are the "filers." They file graded work into their classmates mailboxes. We are still learning how to do this! Please send work back that does not belong to your child. :) Thank you!
