Hello First Grade!


We hope you had a fun, fabulous and relaxing 4 day weekend!  This week will go by quickly due to our extra day of vacation.


Here is bulletin board Mrs. Loop's, Miss Garcia's, Mrs. Bloomfield's and our class made with all the reasons we love reading!!! It is hanging in the hallway be sure to check it out if you are in the area!!!

Last week we in Grade:

  • We wrote about what we would do if we were the president.
This week we will....
  • add animation to our slideshows
  • practice presenting the slide shows with our partners and share them with Mrs. Loops class.
  • make a diorama of the animal they researched.
  • during Daily 5 we will practice writing complex sentences.
  • use 5 star sentences to write a narrative story.
  • due to the short week we will not work on a spelling pattern.

In math we will continue to practice the skills needed in order to decompose/compose numbers.  However, our main focus will be telling time to the hour and half hour!  The students are very interested in telling time, we have been reading the digital clock in the classroom.  We also have an analog clock and their inquisitive brains have asked about a clock with Roman Numerals!  Wow!
