Good Morning First Grade Families!
We had a wonderful first week back :) New pods, new seats and lots of new learning and growing! I hope you heard a lot of good things from your first grader!
This week, we will start another new schedule. Our specials for the next five weeks will be Science, Art and Music.
January 22: AM 1/2 day for students. PM: Teachers will be writing report cards :)
We have a new student joining us on January 25. Welcome back Brooks Lampen!
Curriculum News

Story: Jan's New Home ~
Genre: Realistic Fiction

Phonics: -es as plural, -es as an ending, words with -or and -ore
Words to Read and Spell:
buses, classes, fixes, kisses, wishes, away, car, friend, our, school, house, very
Math:
Use the associative property and the commutative property to make a ten to solve when adding with three addends. (Ex. 6+4+9 would become 10+9)
Make a ten when one addend is 9. ( Ex. 9+6 would become 10+5)
Writing:
Spelling words correctly in daily writing tasks. Writing sentences with a noun and a verb and words that express a feeling. Continuing our work with writing persuasive and opinion pieces.
Social Studies:
Is It Ever Okay to Break a Rule? If a rule is unfair or does not respect the rights of others, it is important to speak out against it, or work to change it.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
