First Grade News
Dear Parents,
Happy Monday! We hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Reading Logs and paper books will be coming home today! Please have your scholar read their paper reader and record the minutes read. Reach out to your scholar's teacher with any questions you may have. Please send in the next classic Frog and Toad Together by this Thursday 9/12.
In Literature/Grammar, scholars will review the stories in the classic Frog and Toad Are Friends and take a comprehension quiz. We will focus on story sequencing, looking at the beginning, middle and end of a narrative text. Scholars will focus on common and proper nouns for places.
This week your scholar will be reciting the poem " I'm Glad" for a grade on Tuesday. They will also continue reviewing the poem "Bird Talk", focusing on the elements of poetry: rhyme, rhythm, stanza. Scholars will recite the poem the week of Sept. 23rd. A copy of the poem was sent home on Friday last week in red folders.
In Math, we will continue to make addition stories within 10. Scholars will practice addition strategies of putting two groups together, counting on when adding to a number, using number bonds and writing equations for our addition facts within 10. Scholars will also identify equations as true or false.
In History, we will continue learning about the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia. We will focus on the inventions and laws of this civilization. A study guide will come home on Wednesday, with a test on this unit Friday. Later in the week, we will begin our unit covering Ancient Egypt. Get ready for a new song!
Thank you for your partnership in helping your scholar with their reading, completing their homework neatly and to arrive to school on time. Keep up the momentum and have a blessed week. 😊
Go Griffins!
