We had another exciting week in First Grade! The children LOVED kicking off our week in their Pajamas, and dressing up all week in celebration of Red Ribbon Week. I was very proud of how well the students showed their independence in the classroom this week. They have certainly mastered our classroom routines and feel at home in the classroom. We are also getting very close to filling our big bucket of Fuzzies for making good choices as a whole class. They have been estimating how long it will take us to reach our goal by passing the bucket around each Friday. This week we will be diving into another Junior Great Books' Story! This week's story is titled The Mouse and The Wizard. Please make sure to follow along with the homework carefully. A guideline will be sent home tomorrow in your child's Red Folder.
Here is what your child will be exploring this week:
Reading: Reading, Discussing and Responding to Junior Great Book story, The Mouse and The Wizard.
Review: Plural and Proper Nouns, Sight Words.
Science: Investigating Weather, Weather Safety Reports (due Tuesday), and observing changes in Weather.
Phonics: We will continue traveling down our Vowel Valley where we hear the /o/ sound. We will practice spelling, reading and identifying words with the letter "o". For example: song, on, mop, clock
Math: Measuring temperature to the nearest 2 degrees, measuring and comparing lengths of objects, measuring using nonstandard units (our feet, hands, paper clips, etc)
Writing: Use the Editing Checklist to write a Non-Fiction paragraph about Fall.
Reminders and Announcements:
- Please remember to send in your Boosterthon money with your child in the envelope or online. The last day to turn in money is tomorrow, October 29th.
- Please make sure that your child brings their Junior Great Book back to school each day after completing their homework.
- The Safety Reports are due October 30th.
Thank you for all of your support at home!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Peake
