This week we will be starting to get into the normal routine of 1st grade. In English Language Arts( ELA), we will be working on character and setting. We will also be reviewing consonant sounds and working with the short a vowel sound. In writing we will work on proper letter formation and on mechanics of good writing, capitals used correctly (at the beginning of sentences and proper nouns) periods, question marks and exclamation points at the end of sentences and writing 3 or 4 sentences on a topic.
In Math we will be counting to 20 and devising strategies so we don't recount items that we have already counted. We will also be comparing numbers and deciding which one is greater.
For Social Studies. your child will be asked to fill an "All About Me" bag with three items from home that he or she would like to share with the class. This will help us get to know each other better and also let the students practice speaking in front of the group.
This week's homework will be for your child to practice typing in their student ID and their birthday. These numbers are used to access our computers and being able to sign themselves in will allow your student more freedom in using the computers for center time, indoor recess and morning work.
Next Monday is Open House, I will be sending out more information later in the week via Remind 101.
