First Grade News
Dear Parents,
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your family. We have three more busy weeks in this semester and Christmas break will be upon us.
In Literature this week, we will begin our fairy tales unit, reading Sleeping Beauty. We will learn about the elements typical to all fairy tales and review the virtue of gratitude as we enjoy the Jewish folktale It Could Always Be Worse. We will also learn about verbs.
In Math, we will review all that we have learned in Chapter 5 focusing on the strategies for addition and subtraction within 20. Scholars will test on Chapter 5 on Wednesday and review for a cumulative test over chapters 1-5 on Friday.
In History, we will begin the Three World Religions unit. Scholars will discover details about Judaism, Christianity and Islam, highlighting the symbols, celebrations and important people in each of these religions.
The sign up genius for the Fairy Tale Celebration will go out on Friday.
Thank you for your partnership and have a wonderful week.
Go Griffins!
