Thank you dear parents for taking time out of your busy week to talk about your child's first grade experience so far. I was so happy to hear the wonderful reports from you all, and to know that the children love coming to school each day!
We will be starting Frog and Toad next week, so please be sure their books are in their folders on Tuesday!
Thank you parents for erasing the Rocket Math practice sheet each night. It will really help Mrs. Zavala move through the homework folders faster!
The Read-A-Thon is next Monday the 31st, starting at 1:30. There is a sign-up for parent helpers and for snacks for the afternoon.
We will have our Egyptian Party the second week of November, and are in need of toilet paper rolls, and paper towel rolls (empty of course), for the projects we will be working on. Feel free to send them daily with your child.
Everyone received the information for the Spelling Bee. I hope we have several in 1B who would like to participate. This will begin the week of November 7.
This week in 1B:
Literature: We are beginning Frog and Toad Are
Friends this week! On Tuesday we will read an article about the difference
between frogs and toads and then compare and contrast the two. We will begin
reading from our book on Wednesday and will predict how similarities and
differences will affect Frog and Toad’s friendship.
Spalding: This week we have 20 words. Spelling
Test on Friday!
Tuesday: song, sing, sang, sung, winter, stone, free,
lake, lace, page
Wednesday: nice, end, fall, went, back, away, paper,
put, each, soon
Grammar: We will be learning and reviewing the four
types of sentences this week: statements, commands, questions, and
exclamations!
This week in math we will expand our counting skills as we begin to add bigger numbers in order to find a sum between 11-20. We will also practice comparing and contrasting numbers within 20 so that we can learn about number sequences and how to identify numbers that are "greater than" and "less than". On Thursday we will have our unit 6, chapter 1 test. Throughout the week we will continue to review concepts from quarter 1 including addition, subtraction, and position.
Monday: No School
Tuesday: WB: 76-78
Wednesday: WB: 79-81
Thursday:6.1 review test
B for homework
Friday: WB: 82-84
History:
Students will learn that the rulers of Egypt were called
pharaohs, and claimed to be descended from the gods. Students will also
learn about the typical dress of a pharaoh and create a pharaoh of their own.
Students will be able to discuss the importance of the pyramids and the purpose
behind them.
No legacy is so rich as honesty. ~ William Shakespeare
Have a great week!
