11/13

 Hello Families! Please the whole blog! Lots of important info!

First, reminder today is early pick up at 1:30!

If you forgot about the pictures please bring them in on Monday!

🌟Upcoming Project: Requires Parent help to start!🌟

We will be completing a timeline project within our Social Studies unit this month before we leave for Thanksgiving break.  Students will be creating a timeline about their life using photographs that they bring into school.  

Below is a description of what the students need and specific information/directions:

  1.  At least 5 photographs of themselves at different ages of their life.
  2. Photographs will need to have their age, year, and a small description about the picture on the back. 
  3. These photographs will be glued to a piece of butcher paper, so please do not send in pictures that you want returned to you.
  4. Photographs can also be computer printed color photos.
  5. Please review the photographs and explanation of what is taking place within the photos with your student before you send them in. 
If you are unable to print you can have your student draw their pictures. Please still include the information on the back.

NO SCHOOL NEXT FRIDAY!

Nov. 19  Next Thursday we will be having a fun afternoon with Fall bingo and a fun Thanksgiving movie! Below is a link if you would like to provide snacks! I will also be sending home a lot of resources and workbooks this day. This is to make sure we are prepared for the virtual week after Thanksgiving break ( the school emailed you about this). If your student will be leaving early next week or will not be here please email me so I can pack everything up early. Please do not start on any work before the assigned date. Workbooks also need to be left alone until I assign work, this will assure that we are all on the same page. I will send a detailed schedule at a later date. 

Next week in First Grade:

Phonics: We will be looking at 2 sound blends! A blend is two or more consonants next to each other  and each letter spells its own sound. An example of this would bl-, -nd.

New heart words: may, no, now, came, out

Comprehension: Since we are in our non-fiction unit we will be exploring text features along with reviewing identifying facts. The features we will be looking at will be things like  table of contents, glossary, charts, etc.

Writing: We will be working on How- to essays! These are always fun!

Math: Students will explore the benefits of skip counting and grouping. This will help student gain a better understanding of number fluency.

Social Studies: We will be working on developing our timelines! We will start by putting them in order and then writing about each picture!
