Quarter 4 -- Week 3

Welcome Back First Grade Families!!!
I hope everyone had a fun and restful spring break! I am looking forward to hearing all about everyone adventures away from school. 


This week we will continue to work on our personal narratives using our small moments.  The first graders are doing so well with this writing.  I am excited how their stories will turn out.  We will be using text features from the Froggy books by Jonathon London to add voice,   transitions,  ellipses  and  onomatopoeia's to our writing.  

We will also begin a Science unit on Light and Sound. This week we will be learning about our five senses. We will be going on a sound walk throughout our school,  making kazoos and learning about vibrations, listening to different glasses with different amounts of liquid to hear pitch, and making a cup-a-phone to experiment with sound.  It will be a fun week of exploring and learning.  

This weeks spelling pattern is oom words (boom, bloom, gloom, gloomy etc.)

Please remember, there are a TON of sports going on at this time of year however, your child’s number one job is school and to make sure that they are keeping up on their reading and math homework!  Please continue to support the importance of their school work.
