2nd Week

We all made it through the first week of First Grade. It was exciting! We got to know each other more and more everyday and have developed some class routines, songs, and chants.  I’m sure you’ll be hearing our line up chant at home.  They love it! 

This week we will continue to create our classroom community and will get to know each other a lot more.  I have started off the week as the STAR and my All About Me Poster is on display in our classroom.  

In Language Arts, we will continue to do whole group activities and will make a classroom book. I will share the reading standards with the kids this week.  These grade 1 standards will be on display in our classroom throughout the year.    

This week we will have mini lessons on: 

  §  Good Fit books 

  §  Shopping for books 

  §  How to read a book? 

  §  Independence during Reading Workshop

  §  What is stamina? 

  §  Building stamina   

In Math, we will practice: 

·      Writing Numbers

·      How to use a number line 

·      Tally marks 

·      Using Dice   

September is National Library Card Sign-up Month.  Please make sure your child has a library card.   

Thanks for working with your child to complete their All About Me Poster.  Please send it to school this Friday.  We will begin sharing them next week. 

Please don’t forget to send a check for $40 for this year’s snack fund.  The checks should be made out to WES snack fund.  Thanks!
