What We're Working on This Week:
First Grade Curriculum:
Language Arts
This week in LA we will focus on compound words in our spelling! Remember not to leave a space between your words when you write them (not blue bird, write bluebird). We will have a test on Friday! Book bags went home Monday, please read and return on Friday! You all are doing such a great job reading, keep up the good work! We will keep working in our journals we are practicing using lots of adjectives in our writing to help support our ideas and make our writing more interesting! We will also learn how to write procedural text this week too!
Social Studies
In Social Studies we are starting a new unit on Economics!
We will learn about goods and services and needs and wants. We will also discuss how needs and wants change over time.

Math
In math this week we will be learning all about 3D shapes! We will learn about their faces, edges, and vertices and different ways we can classify these shapes. We will explore real-world examples of these shapes as well.
On Thursday, we will be hosting a "3D Shape Museum!" We are asking that each child bring in ONE example of a 3D shape from home. (For example, a baseball for a sphere, a tissue box for a rectangular prism, or a paper towel tube for a cylinder). Please don't send anything valuable or breakable. These will be sent back home on Thursday!
Science
This week we will be learning all about living and non-living things! We will learn about what living things need and how they grow and change. We will also learn about how adult and baby animals resemble their parents and have similar traits.
We will also be having a very special arrival coming on MONDAY. Here's a little sneak peak:
