First Grade News
Dear Parents,
Welcome back! We hope your extended weekend was restful.
In Literature this week, we will continue our fairy tales unit, reading Hansel and Gretel and Jack and the Beanstalk. We are very much looking forward to our celebration this Friday. Thank you to all who have volunteered with supplies, door decorations and helping on the day of. In Writing/Grammar we will begin writing our very own personal narrative story. In the coming weeks, scholars will draft, edit and write a final version of their own personal narrative story.
We will begin reading A Bargain For Frances soon. Please send this Classic to Keep with your scholar by next Thursday, January 25th.
In Math, we will start Chapter 7, comparing lengths of objects and use non-standard methods to measure objects and take a chapter assessment. Look for some chapter practice pages (completed in class) to come home for your review of these concepts.
In History, we will begin our unit on the earliest civilizations of the Americas; covering nomadic cultures and the Mayas.
Thank you so much for your continued support and partnership. Have a wonderful week.
Go Griffins!
