I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Last week we reviewed standards covered earlier in the year and completed assessments. This week we will be back to our regular schedule with reading and math homework. Make sure your child is reading to you each night.
This week in first grade:
- we will review nouns (singular, plural, possessive and Proper) and verbs.
- we will look a syllables in words and review the fact that every syllable has a vowel.
- we will look at why we have day and night. We will look at our relation to the sun at different times of day and how the days vary by season.
- our spelling will be ump words. 1st graders should know that when they hear ump in a word that is how it is spelled.
Reminder --
A scholastic book order went home with your child on Tuesday. If you would like to order books the due date is December 3 for orders turned into the classroom and December 10 for those ordered online.
Math News from Mrs Garcia:
Welcome back from Thanksgiving Break! We missed your smiling faces...We will continue to work on 2D and 3D shapes in math.
Your first grader will be Identifying open and closed shapes, corners (vertex) and sides (edges) of a shape. They will also tell all flat surfaces that make up any 3-Dimensional shape. The students will also classify objects by their attribute: color, shape, size, number of corners/sides and its orientation. We will have a very busy week of learning ahead of us!
