We had such a fabulous day in first grade!!! I have changed a couple of things about our reading program and I have to say the students did great and adapted very well.
Reading: This week we are focusing on the sun and Earth and how they impact one another. We will be reading text about activities that happen during the different seasons as well as continuing to study the reason for the seasons. We have different sight words that I will be sending out tomorrow so you can study those at home.
As far as the phonics, we have four different groups studying four different skills depending on what your student specifically needs.
Writing: We continue to study nouns and proper nouns during class. Students are starting to notice both in everything that we read. Please encourage your students to look for these words in their reading at home!
Math: Numbers to 20, numbers to 20, numbers to 20!!! Once again we continue to look at the fundamentals of our numbers up to 20. Our focus is on place value and what truly makes up a number. Last week I included a website to help students master their place value skills. Take some time to look at this website with your student.
