Dear First Grade Parents,
We have a fun filled month planned! The students are looking forward to the school-wide Harvest Festival on Friday, October 11th. We will read books about Halloween, pumpkins, bats. We will read the book, "Stellaluna", to tie into our Scholastic News magazine.
Grammar: The students will focus on making sure all the sentences they write have a noun and a verb to make it complete.
Comprehension: We will focus on what the problem is in a story and notice how they are solved.
Word Wall Words: about also after
Phonics: We will start learning phonograms, two or more letters that when written together, make one or more different sounds. This week we will learn the sounds that SH and TH make; ship, mash, this, three.
Reading Workshop: In Reading Workshop we have learned how readers improve their reading by using good habit. Next week, students will learn about how to break bad habits. They will also use partner reading time to help each other make good choices in reading! The class is enjoying partner time as they discuss the books they are reading. It's a joy to watch!
Writing Workshop: The students have revised AND edited their small moment stories and will write their FINAL draft, create their cover and get ready to celebrate. Help your child think a title for the small moment book. Ask your child about their "small moment" and come up with some ideas for the Title Page. The class will create their own Title Page next week. Look for an invitation to join us in our Book Celebration Party in your child's folder.
Science: We will continue our study on fall. We will explore pumpkins and read a Scholastic News magazine about different types of pumpkins.
Star of the Week: We had a great time this week learning all about Averie's family and heritage and can't wait for the next Star of the Week. If you need to change your week or any of the activities, please just let me know. We are so excited to learn more about our new classmates.
