This week starts the beginning of the 3rd Marking Period. We are half way done 1st grade! This week and next we will work on the digraphs qu and wh and will continue work on the comprehension strategy of sequencing. We will work on when we use I and me in a sentence as well as when to use -ing and -ed.
In Math, we will start our unit on Surveys and Graphing as well as continue working on addition and subtraction. We will also continue our skip counting by 5's, 10's and 2's and counting backwards - please practice these skills at home.
In Science we will continue with States of Matter Solids and Liquids (and gas) and in Social Studies we will discuss change over time when I read the novel - Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
We also switch teachers for times called Math Intervention (MINT) (Weds, Thurs and Fri)and Reading Intervention (RINT) ((most days). Your child may (and probably does) got to a different teacher for these times. Please ask them what they are learning during these extension classes.
Have a great week and don't forget on Thursday we have "Dress Like a Rock (Country or Rap) Star", Friday there is no school for the students and next week we have early dismissal on Wednesday January 30, Thursday the 31 and Friday February 1.
