I can't believe how fast the year is doing by. Can you believe we only have 9 weeks of first grade??? There is still a lot of learning we have to get in before our wonderful firsties become 2nd graders, so we will continue to work hard.
Reminders:
Parent Teacher Conferences are this Friday, March 18, 2016! Remember if you can not make the time you scheduled please change it on the Sign-up Genius or email me to let me know. I look forward to meeting with everyone!
This is what we did last week in 1st Grade:
- We wrote some wonderful poems, including I wish poems, ing poems using adjective and I like poems.
- We began our narrative writing unit and zeroed in on a small moment in our lives that we want to write about.
- We read some fun poetry books including "Where the Sidewalk Ends".
- We watched the 2nd grades presentation on animals and compared them to our work on animals.
- Mrs. Rowlett worked on all the 3rd quarter assessments.
Here is a look at this week...
- Our spelling pattern will be ee words (free, tree, three etc.)
- We will create more wonderful poetry including Important poems and Hiaku's.
- We will continue our work on our narrative stories by drawing the beginning and end and writing about each part of our small moment.

Week 29
March 14th-17th
I simply can’t believe that it is March 14th! We start 4th Quarter today along with learning about fractions! Fractions are so much fun and there are a ton of activities/projects to do too! The first graders will partition circles and rectangles from a “whole” into (two) ½ and( four) ¼ equal parts. We will also discuss (thirds) ⅓.
Your 1st grader will also be able to tell the differences between shapes that are divided in equal pieces.
