FIRST GRADE NEWS 11-19-21

 Good afternoon! We finished up our sound and light unit this week. We had fun making stained glass windows, working with flashlights and creating codes with light. We will continue with our fairy tale unit through the new year. We will add on traditions and legends, too.

READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS

I am seeing some great movement in reading and writing! I love when they start taking risks and believing in themselves. It makes all the difference. Reminder to make sure your child reads each day during our November break. We don't want to lose any progress. 

We read a nonfiction book on turkeys and then took information from it to write about turkeys. We have been looking for common characteristics in each fairy tale we read. We've been practicing reading the fairy tales all by ourselves! Their baby bear voices are the cutest! 

We finished Charlotte's Web. It was a sad ending but great book! We found egg sacs in the Guess Box!

We are working on a fairy tale play. We are in hopes to perform it for families in December. I'm still working out the details to see if it is possible. I will keep you posted!

MATH

We finished unit three and took the assessment. Unit four will work with measurement, time and data collection. If you have a ruler or tape measurer at home, let your child try it out at home!
