What a wonderful weekend it turned out to be!!! I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy some of the great sunshine.
Last week in first grade we...
- went on a hunt for words containing ci, ce, cy "S" and ge, gi, gy "J" the kids did a great job finding and reading words with these tricky letters.
- discovered that vibrations make sound. We made cup-a-phones and discovered that the string between the 2 cups needs to be tight or the vibrations won't travel to the other cup.
- finished the final drafts of our small moment narratives. First graders did an AWESOME job writing neatly for an audience.
- wrote opinions using would you rather cards during daily 5.
A look at this week...
- First graders will finish up their small moment narratives by illustrating their cover and writing about themselves for the all about the author page.
- We will continue our light and sound unit by looking at how objects need to illuminated in order for us to see them.
- We will also be starting end of the year report card assessments.
- Our spelling pattern this week will be oat words (boat, goat, bloat).
Our upper grade friends will be taking their State tests this week so we will have to make sure we are extra quiet!!!

Week 33
This week we will be focusing on adding and subtracting numbers within 100! We will be adding/subtracting multiples of 10. Please have your child refer to their 100 chart, in their school binder, if they need a tool to use to help them figure out an answer. The students can choose between Branch Method and Arrow Diagrams in order to add the 2 digit problems. There will be workbook pages and IXL on Thursday.
