We have now entered the second semester of 1st grade! WOW! This semester we have a lot to accomplish. One of these things is prepping for second grade. Today and tomorrow will be "1st grade behavior review." Of course, I will continue with positive behavior rewards and warnings however expectations are going to be higher this semester. Please join me in helping support your student in this matter!
Moral Focus: Perseverance! We are leading the assembly on Jan.10th! Your student will have a quick performance at the end. Power of Yet Please be practicing this at home this week.
Phonics: We will start to look at two syllable words and learn how to break them apart. In small group reading time I will review heavily what your child's needs. Please be reviewing heart words (rapid word charts) at home.
Comprehension: Students will be looking at key details about subjects or main ideas in text. Key details tell us the MOST important information.
NO READING HOMEWORK.
Math: We will be doing a heavy review this week and will be ending the week with a quick assessment. There will be math homework. Tuesday pages 61-62 and Thursday pages 63-64.
Science: We will be starting our space unit. We will start by looking at the Moon. Your student will be coming home with a moon journal. This is for a grade. Students will look at the moon nightly and record the phase of the moon on the journal. Your student should use pencil or a dark marker or crayon to color in the dark side of the moon (new moon would be completely colored, full moon would have no color). This Journal is due back on Feb. 3rd for a grade. If it is cloudy please have your student draw clouds over the moon. If you miss a day you can go to stardate.org or Farmers almanac to see what the moon was doing.
Field Trip: Over break Ms. Baldwin was able to secure another field trip on Jan 22nd! We will be going to the Arvada Preforming Arts Center and participating in some of their cultural workshops! This will give us a taste of countries around the world without the air fare 😆! I am in need of 5 chaperones so please email if you are interested! Permission slips are coming home TODAY. Money and permission slips are due back by Jan 20th. Students will need a sack lunch for the field trip on the 22nd. This means everything can be thrown away!
