Week 31 -- 4/30 - 5/3

Image result for sun clip artHappy Monday!! This school year is just flying by.  How can we already be saying hello to May??  We sure are seeing our Nevada weather with the cool/cold mornings and Hot afternoons. It is important to dress in layers. Be sure to label your child's clothing so if it lost it will find its way back to them.

First graders have been busy looking at animal super powers, writing personal narratives, reading fables and reviewing all the learning we have completed so far this year.  

This week in first grade we will...

  • continue to determine the central message of a story.
  • write our personal narratives.
  • look at the animal superpower of camouflage. 
  • review parts of speech.
  • write 5 star sentence.
The big kids will be testing this week so we will have to be super aware of our inside voices.

Math news from Miss Garcia




This week we say goodbye April and hello to May!

Since it is the 3rd trimester, we have already taught most math standards.  At this point, Mrs. Bloomfield and I are focusing re-assessing previous standards as well as pulling in some standards that we previously taught that the students have NOT yet mastered.  With that being said some of the IXL Objectives will be repeated for additional practice.

I know that it is a busy time of year however, please continue to read and complete your daily math homework!  

Arrow Method Example:

53  + 30  =          1. Start with the bigger addend (53).
   + 30    
53 83                    2. Draw an arrow; above the arrow write a +30      

                                 3. Write the total (83).
