Last week…
In class, we have continued to focus on letter formation (handwriting), sight words, and Daily 5. Daily 5 is a large part of our literacy time in first grade. Daily 5 includes: read to self, read to someone, word work, listening to reading, and work on writing. We have spent the past two weeks focusing on read to self and read to someone. We have also spent a lot of time discussing the importance of comprehending what we read. We learned to “think aloud” and ask ourselves questions when reading stories. We have read at least 1-2 stories every day. The students seemed to really like the stories Pete the Cat, Baghead, and Have you Filled a Bucket Today? In math, we have focused on math vocabulary, representing numbers in a variety of ways, and collecting/analyzing data. We have also practiced word problems that involve single digit addition, as well as single digit subtraction.
FYI
*Homework was accidentally sent home in your child's daily folder this past Friday. Homework will typically be sent home on Mondays. Homework will always be due on Fridays. Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns about homework. Thank you!
