Week Before Break...

Hello families! It's hard to believe it is almost spring break. We are flying through first grade and students are learning so much! They have certainly earned a break! Here is a look at this week's learning:

Reading:

We are working on aw and all endings and looking at the following memory words: they, come, coming, put and our. Students are also working on main idea and paraphrasing information or retelling in their own words.

Writing: 

We are kicking off poetry this week. Students will be writing about objects and nature this week. Students will learn to write as poets. We have been reading a lot of poetry in class and students will be reading and illustrating some Shel Silvertein poems as another part of our unit. This will be a 3-week unit.

Math:

Students are wrapping up unit 9 of math, which covers conceptual place value. We are covering the jump, split and jump-split strategy to solve equations. Students will complete an assessment this week and when they return from their vacation time, we will start graphing and story problems.

Wish List:  

• Classroom snack
• Large white construction paper
• table wipes
• gluesticks
• dry erase markers

Have a great week and relaxing Spring Break!
