Week 27 Highlights

CELEBRATIONS:

Quote of the Week – This week’s quote went to GABE for always having a positive mindset and seeing the good in everything!

First Grade Family Time – Here are our Family Time award winners from this week!

OUR LEARNING:

Writing – This week we continued our persuasive letter writing unit. Students began writing their own letters asking for more homework, new books for our classroom library, and more!

Word Study – We started learning about bloopers we might make while writing tricky words. Bloopers are actually GREAT for us, because we learn from our mistakes! We also started learning about bossy R and the way it changes vowel sounds (ar, er, ir, or, ur). 

Reading–  In reading as we worked on continuing to get to know our characters we paid close attention to the end, worked to use all the pages of the story, matched our voices and body gestures to the feelings while we read, and thought about what was happening while we were reading. 

Math- We continued working with story problems, and we focused on how the unknown number can vary from problem to problem. They were also introduced to problems with three addends (partners). This is a tricky skill that we will continue to build on! Please take some time to look over the first quiz from this unit that came home in your child’s folder this week.  

Social-Emotional– This week for conflict resolution we learned about ways to solve a problem. One strategy we tried was using “I feel..” statements.
