First Grade News

It has been such a wonderful SPRING week of sunshine! Finally! It was a very busy week. Please see below to check out what has been happening!

Thursday, May 24th: 1st grade field trip

Book Orders:
If you are interested in ordering books from the book order, please have your order in by Monday, April 30. This will be the last class order before summer. I love seeing the great titles some of you have chosen for your children already! Head to www.scholastic.com - our class code is LGVW7.

Family Read Aloud Books:
Those that are participating in the family read aloud this time around will be receiving the book and study guide home today. Have fun reading!

Reading and Writing:
We have learned so much about our animals! We have researched and written about their life cycle, homes, food, and fun facts. Ask your child to share what animal he or she is writing about and what they have learned. Next week we will be writing our introduction and conclusion. It is exciting to see students apply all they have learned as readers and writers as they research and write!

Math:
We have begun unit 7 and have learned how to tell time to the hour and half hour on both analog and digital clocks. Any extra practice students can get at home, especially to the half hour, would be great.

Social Studies:
Some students have mastered writing their address independently, others are still working on it. Next week we will practice drawing maps of spaces and using a key to do so.
