Happy New Year to all my first graders and their
families!
I hope that you all have rested up. We are close to
being half way through the school year.
Here are a few things about the next few weeks.
Our Curriculum
in January
Our Math focus will be on measuring non-standard
objects, time to the hour, half hour and now quarter hour. We will continue
with counting coins up to $1.00. We will also be writing our numbers up
to 1000 through a math activity that is going to grow and grow. This will
help the students with reinforcing correct number formation, number sequencing
and identify more and more number patters.
Readers Workshop
This is the month that our first graders will
become "Word Detectives. we are going to be learning about how different vowel combinations sound is
not exactly how its phonetically written.
example:
ar as in car says the same sound as the word are.
They will become a word detective as they learn to
use certain strategies such as using picture clues, looking for chunks and/or
word families, asking question like does this make sense or does that look
right? Our students will use end marks and special fonts in their own reading
voice to be come "better" readers.
We will also be thinkers that write. We will be writing about our thinking. Written responses our students are going to begin to take ownership of their own reading by a
