In Class...
We have completed our Phonics series. During our phonics time we will be practicing and reviewing for the Language Arts section of the CRCT. Look for these packets to come home in the next week or so. Please go over with your child anything that they missed.
We have been working on finding the main idea of text that we are reading. Please go over this at home.
In Math we will begin our unit on measurement, comparing and measuring length, weight, and capacity with non-standard units of measure.
In Science we will begin our unit on animals. We will learn what they need to survive. We are also still enjoying watching our pea seeds grow. So far some of our plants have stems, roots and tiny leaves. Ask your child what the job of each of the plant parts (roots, stem, leaves, flower) is.
In writing we wrote an informational piece about the most important part of plants. As we learn about animals we will write about them – what they need, their appearance.
Our tadpoles are very busy. We are enjoying watching them grow. I hear ours are the fattest ones in the first grade. J
