Welcome back! We had an exciting week in first grade, we got right back into learning! Here are some important pieces of information.
1. Report cards come home March 15th.
2. On March 11th (Friday), we'll be walking to the Museum of Natural History for a "Wild Weather" demonstration. We need 3-4 parents to walk with us and chaperone a group. We'll be leaving a little before 10 and return a little after 12. Please let me know, via email, if you're available to chaperone this field trip.
3. No school Friday, March 25th.
4. Special Kid is Ali!

Here's what we're doing this week:
- Literacy- I'll be reassessing each student in reading to help adjust their instruction. This will be reflected on the report card.
- Phonics- We'll be working on -ish, -ash, and -ush word families and also on long u spelled ew and ue.
- Writing-FINALLY finishing our How-To writing (took a while with all these breaks/days off). We're reading them to Mrs. Halabu's class on Wednesday for our celebration. Next writing unit is a research project. We'll be starting our research this week.
- Math- Near doubles facts (seeing that 5+6 is 5+5+1, etc) and we'll continue to practice comparative number stories. **A good thing to practice at home is doubles facts to help with near doubles facts***
- Science- We had live crickets delivered to our class on Friday! We'll be exploring their bodies, survival strategies, etc.
The 101st Day of First Grade
Friday was our 101st day of school, and since we're in first grade, we celebrated all day! Here are some highlights of the activities we did:
Phew. Sorry for the long post! I just have a few more pictures I want to share with you. Otherwise I'll forget and then find them on my phone in May!
