Dear First Grade Families,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was beautiful. The time is flying by. Can you believe we only have 7 more weeks of school left?
We have had some issues with snacks going missing when it is time for snack recess. If you can please write your child's name on their snack this will save us some time in the mornings. Also, please talk with your child about only eating the snack that they bring.
Last week the first graders were busy, busy, busy!!
- 1st graders typed their important poems and their favorite poem from their poetry journal.
- We started our small moments narrative unit.
- We wrote about spring.
- 1st graders learned about the moon phases.
- The students also review 5 star sentences.
This week we will...
- Look at the SUPERPOWERS of plants and animals, by studying their special features.
- learn why birds have different shaped beaks.
- Begin writing our narrative stories.
- review parts of speech.

Our focus this week in first grade will be: reviewing word problems that include both addition and subtraction within 50, and composing 2-dimensional shapes and tell their defining vs. non-defining attributes. A new concept will also be introduced called In and Out Tables. An example is shown below.
