August 26-30

Hi!
Here goes with what we are learning in the classroom and important things to know:

Language Arts- We are working on Read to Self and Word Work. We worked on this last week. I will be introducing Read to Someone and Work on Writing this week for Daily 5 activities during our Language Arts block. Our spelling words this week: skip, spot, sniff, smell, stop, swim, that, there, water and when. We are working on making sure our sentences have uppercase letters at the beginning and ending punctuation marks.

Math- We are working on counting to 120. We are working on finding the missing numbers in different series of numbers on charts and activity sheets. We will be starting intervention groups this Wednesday. We will be switching first grade classrooms every Wednesday depending on the skills they are currently working on.

Science- We will be having our first STEM day this coming Wednesday on our Early Release Day. We will be building a structure and determine if it can withstand different wind speeds.

Social Studies- We will continue to work on Me on the Map booklet this week. Please continue to help your child practice his/her address as  I will be testing later this quarter.
