Dear Firsties and
families,
It has been an awesome week for Team Peake!
Last Friday, the class finally filled up the BIG BUCKET OF FUZZIES! I am so
proud of them for reaching their goal and for working as a team. The children
decided that they wanted to have a pajama party to start off our week so they
presented their weather safety projects in their PJ’s! J They are currently trying to fill up the BIG
bucket for the second time by following our Essential Agreements. 1.)Try your
best every day. 2.)Be helpful 3.) Be respectful 4.) Be safe.
We are looking forward to another exciting
week of learning in first grade!
Reading:
Comparing and Contrasting Fiction and
Non-Fiction Texts
Comparing the First Thanksgiving to
Thanksgiving now.
Grammar:
Using past and present tense verbs correctly.
Most past tense verbs end in –ed For
example,
“Mrs. Peake jumped for joy when Auburn scored
a touchdown!”
We will also focus on present tense verbs
that end in –ing. For example,
“Mrs. Peake is jumping for joy because her first graders are so smart!”
Phonics:
/ee/ as in week, feel, keep
Red Words: said, there, use
Math:
Measuring using non-standard (cubes,
hands, arm spans, pencils, feet etc.) and standard (inches, feet, centimeters)
units of measurement.
Science:
Continuing our inquiry of weather
patterns.
Important Updates and
Reminders:
·
Please
be reminded that our Thanksgiving Feast is scheduled for Thursday November 21st!
We hope you can join us at 10:40 in the classroom for some yummy food to
celebrate our thankfulness.
· Please
try and plan for your child to be in the classroom by 7:50 each morning. Ten
minutes can make a big difference in allowing your child’s morning routine to
run smoothly.
· Don't forget to read 20 minutes every night!
Thank you for
your continued support at home and for sharing your child with me! It is a joy
watching them grow each and every day!
All the best!
Mrs. Peake
