It's going to be another great week in 1st grade. This week we are thinking a lot about WHY we are in school and how the goals we set in 1st grade help us achieve our dreams later on. Ask your scholars how they helped their brains grow at school.
FAST Phonics: We are continuing to work with the hungry rule to learn about long consonant spellings. We know that when a word has one syllable (one tap word) with a short vowel sound in the middle, we use the long consonant spelling. Ex: cuff, will
Writing: We are writing informational books that can TEACH our readers. It's so exciting to be non-fiction authors writing about topics we are experts about.
Reading: We are starting our non-fiction unit this week and learning all about books that are written to teach us. Our reading and writing workshops work together so well and will help your scholars learn how to make strong connections between reading and writing.
Math: We are continuing to practice addition and subtraction strategies this week. We are working on determining the best strategies to use and defending our decisions with logical reasons.
Thank you so much for your support! As always, if you have ANY questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at any time. Have a fantastic week!
