CELEBRATIONS:

Quote of the Week – This week’s quote went to EMILIE for always striving to learn more and be a kind friend!

First Grade Family Time – Here are our “award-winning” first graders from this week’s family time.

Mystery Reader – Ariya’s mom surprised us as a mystery reader this week!

OUR LEARNING:

Writing– This week we practiced writing our very own nonfiction book! We researched by looking at pictures in real books and used what we learned to add more details to our writing.

Word Study– We focused on snap words this week! We learned some new snap words, relearned some tricky snap words, and practiced building longer words with snap words inside of them.

Reading– We are coming to a close of our nonfiction reading unit. The kids have just loved it and tying it in with writing has been great. This week they found interesting facts to share with a partner, practiced reading with feeling, reading like a writer, and looked for keywords.

Math– This week we began unit 4 of math! We learned how to add groups of 10 together (60+10=70), write equations for teen numbers (10+5=15), and build numbers with ten sticks and circles.
