Math-Last week we finished up working with our plane (2D) shapes. We worked on describing them using our defining attributes, such as number of sides, corners or vertices, parallel or intersecting lines. Then, we talked about congruent shapes. These are shapes that are same shape and same size.
Daily 5- Last week we focused on “Retelling the story in sequential order” which is one of our Comprehension strategies. We also worked on “Listening to fluent, expressive reading” which is one of our Fluency strategies.
Wilson Fundations- We continued working on our new glued sounds. Our new sounds are /ang/, /ing/, /ung/, and /ong/. Have your child tell you the letter, keyword, sound for each of these four new sounds.
Martin Luther King Jr.- We learned a lot about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We talked about our schema, what we already know, and then read many books and sang songs to find out more information about this very important man. Ask your child what they learned about him.
Important Information:
-Geo Animals- Keep working on your Geo-Animals. I can’t wait to see what they look like. Try to make them look as real life and take your time. If you need some materials or assistance, please let me know as soon as possible. To see some of the pictures of Geo-Animals from my class last year go to my blog at: http://missbethelsfirstgradeclassroom.blogspot.com/.
- Team Time- Last week we started Team Time. This is where we divide up students into differentiated groups, based on a specific area of focus they need to work on. It is very important for your child to get to school on time. We start first thing right after the bell at 9:20. See the back of this sheet for the new class schedule.
- Homework- Please make sure your child’s homework is being turned in on time, completed, and with their name on it. Each week, there are many papers without names on it and I want to give credit to the students for turning in their work. Thank you for your help with this!
