First Grade News

Dear Parents, 

We hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed the extra day off!

In Literature this week, we will finish our fairy tales unit, by retelling Jack and the Beanstalk and reading Princess and the Pea.  Scholars will continue writing their own personal narrative story; working on the rough draft, making edits and revisions to improve the story.  

We will begin reading A Bargain For Frances soon.  Please send this Classic to Keep with your scholar by Monday, January 27th.  

In Math, we will end Chapter 7, comparing lengths of objects and using non-standard methods to measure objects. We will take a chapter assessment this week. Look for a study guide to come home for your review of these concepts.   

In Science, we will continue to observe plants.  Scholars will come home with a homework slip on Tuesday.  They will collect leaves and draw a picture of where they found the leaves. Please return to school on Wednesday as we will use these samples in class to compare the differences in leaves from plant to plant.  

In History, we will continue our unit on the earliest civilizations of the Americas; The Aztecs and Incas.  

Thank you so much for your continued support and partnership.  Have a wonderful week.

Go Griffins!
