Boy were we spoiled by the weather the past couple of weeks! 70's and 80's in March? The kids have been acting like its the last couple of weeks of school - they've been so excited. Now the heat is back on in my house and we will have to suffer through "seasonal" weather this week. UGH!
A look at the week ahead:
In ELA - Our phonics focus this week will be long vowel a and a-e words. We will review the job of King Ed (silent e) as we work on -ake and -ate words. The story we will be reading in our anthology is "Flake, the Missing Hamster". This story is a play and we will talk about the characteristics as well as the different parts. We will be focusing on fluency and expression in our reading groups this week as well as problem/solution and summarizing. Our grammar focus will be using describing words to tell how many.
In Math - we will begin our unit on graphs. We will look at bar graphs, picture graphs and how to interpret data from a graph.
In Science - we will begin our unit on Wind.
Report cards go home tomorrow. Please review, sign the back and return to school after going over how wonderfully your children are doing in first grade!! Kudos to all!!!
Have a wonderful week....
