What We're Working on This Week:
First Grade Curriculum:
Language Arts / Social Studies
This week in LA and SS we will wrap up our study of Famous Americans and the history of America! We have learned so much and we cannot wait to share it with you at Open House! We also practiced our research skills and writing skills while focusing on this unit! It is awesome!
We will be assessing for the third nine weeks report cards this week as well!
We will NOT have spelling words or book bags this week! Happy almost Spring Break!
See you at Open House on Thursday!
Math
In math this week we will be continuing to work on applying our addition and subtraction strategies to solve word problems! We will learn about looking for key words, applying strategies, and checking our answers. We will also write our own word problems and solve them for each other.
Homework note: PLEASE make sure your child is doing Reflex Math for 15 minutes 2 times a week. It is crucial that our learners are practicing their addition and subtraction facts outside of class time.
Science
In science this week, we will be continuing to learn all about plants! We will plant lima beans and wheat seeds in a classrooms this week and watch them grow. We will become experts about all the parts of the plant and how each part functions to keep the plant alive!
