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 continue to work on Unit 3. 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 93-98

2.) 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)

Learning Websites:

Mega Math has also been added to the Math websites. Mega Math offers games that are organized by different math skills.

Learning Objectives

• Reading: What are the habits of a  good reader? We will learn about the Flippy Dolphin strategy (Flip the vowels. EX: Try out a long "a" sound if that doesn't sound right try the short "a" sound).

I encourage students to be fearless spellers. This means they sound out unknown words or look to the Word Wall for assistance.
