First Grade
November brings a change in weather and in our first graders. Our expectations remain high as the curriculum gradually becomes more difficult and challenging. It is exciting to watch our students demonstrate how much they are learning. We strive daily to meet the district’s content standards in reading, writing, math, science, history, and geography. We appreciate your support at home to help us accomplish this.
Please remember to review daily work brought home and set a nightly “quiet time” for homework, vocabulary study, and “Million Word” reading time. Please make it a habit to visit your local library weekly. Supplies such as crayons, pencils (with erasers), glue, and homework folders (with bottom pockets) may need to be replaced. Students need these tools for daily class work.
In reading, we will continue our unit on “Small Moments.” We will be focusing on decoding and comprehensions strategies. We will begin retelling a sequence of events with precise detail and write so that readers can follow these events. In math, students will continue to review pennies, nickels, tally marks, and addition and subtraction. Unit 4 will cover length measurement and thermometers. In English, we are working on speaking in complete sentences and writing complete thoughts. Students will distinguish between asking (?) and telling (.) sentences. Word order, color and number words, alphabetical order, and naming (subject) and action parts (predicate) of sentences will be practiced. We will also be concentrating on sequences of ideas, beginning, middle, and end, capitalization of names, places, and days of the week and months of the year. We will continue to focus on stretching out small moments. In science, we will be covering weather. In social studies we will be covering families and needs and wants.
