Thank you to our guest reader, Mrs. Disanto!!!
What We’re Learning The Week of September 21st:
Reading: “Pig in a Wig” (Fiction Text) We will work on retelling through sequencing events in a fiction text. We will also work on telling what happened in the beginning, middle, and end of a story.
I have started guided reading. This is where I have the opportunity to work with your child at his/her reading level. Your child will begin to come home with his/her guided reading
book to practice in their “book in a bag.” Please remember to have your child read the book-in-a-bag. It is important to always return “the book in a bag” the next day. Thank you!!
Writing: We will be continuing writing workshop for our personal narrative writing unit. Students will continue to work on writing about personal “small moments”. The students will write a story across pages with an introduction, details, and ending. We will also be continuing to work on capitalization, end marks, and writing detailed sentences through mini-lessons. We will also work on adding detail to our writing.
Grammar: We will be introducing nouns and finding them in our writing.
Word Study/Spelling:
Read and Write Words: is like me see
Short vowel word families will be our focus for this quarter. Word families share the same vowels/patterns and rhyming words. We are working on short vowel “a”
Feature/Pattern of the week: Word Families – ad, an
Ex: sad, glad, man, plan
**** I will also work on other word patterns with the kids during their guided reading group time.
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. By the end of the school year, one goal is for students to complete 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. We will continue working on story problems and writing number sentences to match them.
