The holiday break begins next week! There will be no school December 22nd through January 2nd. We will see students back in school on Tuesday, January 3rd.
Concert: The first graders did a wonderful job at the concert this past Wednesday night. Thank you for bringing your student and your support!
Reading: Students are practicing having thoughts as they read-reacting to and talking back to the text, instead of just reading through the words. Students are learning to make connections between their texts and their own lives and are making inferences and predictions about the story.
We are nearing the end of Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne for our class read-aloud.
Writing: We have been focusing on handwriting work this week. We are also getting in the holiday spirit by reading holiday-related texts, and responding to them with writing or a craft. Books we have read include The Polar Express, The Mitten, and The Night Before Christmas.
Spelling: Patterns –ig, -it, and -ill sounds and word identification
Math: Introduction to the dime, dollars and cents notation, and exchanging pennies, nickels and dimes
Math you can practice at home: Telling time to the half-hour, counting coins
Science: Continuation of where food comes from/growing our food
Keep up that reading over the break!
Have a wonderful holiday!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Craft
