Thank you to Mr. Kline for being our guest reader!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What We’re Learning The Week of January 6th:
Reading: Ocean Animals (Non-Fiction)
Students will be working on retelling the story, “Ocean Animals.” We will also identify the main idea and key details. Students will show connections to how the animals are built to survive. We’ll be continuing guided reading and Daily 5/centers. As always, we’ll be reading poetry weekly for fluency and expression practice.
Writing: We will begin our new writing unit which is non-fiction writing. We will also be continuing to work on capitalization, end marks and writing detailed sentences through mini-lessons. Students will be working on teaching others facts/information they know about a specific topic.
Word Study/Spelling:
•Spelling patterns: -k, -wh, -qu, -tw (ex: quit, king, when, twig)
• Read/Write words-big, her, over
Grammar
• Compound words and review of verb tense
Math: Our math lessons each day will include computational fluency, fact fluency, and core math instruction focused on the first grade common core math standards. Computational fluency will help the students to use the most effective and efficient strategies. Fact Fluency is working with both addition and subtraction facts within 10. At the end of first grade, students will need to solve 15 addition facts in one minute and 15 subtraction facts in one minute. Our core lessons will include hands-on math activities and games that support the common core. Students will be working on numbers and operations in base ten. This is game week (ex: Equal Sums, Speed, How Many Am I Hiding?)!
3rd grading period Science and Social Studies:
Science: Living and Non-Living Things (gummyworms and mealworms)
Social Studies: Geography/ Places and Regions
