We'd like to highlight these 1st graders from each section as the scholars of the month. These students have been chosen for their outstanding display of the virtue responsibility.
1A: Olivia Ramon
1B: Grey Egbert
1C: Leon Schuda
1D: Abigail Pickett
Poetry
Students really got in the 'swing' of things and did an amazing job reciting their poems! We ae so proud of them and they should be proud of themselves! Everyone gets a virtual pat on the back!
Next week, we will take a short break from poetry and will focus on the idiom, you can't teach an old dog new tricks!
History
1st grade is in the middle of their Ancient Egypt unit. Next week we will be learning about mummy’s and pharaohs.
Science
In science, we will continue our unit on Sun, Moon and stars. We will be discussing our memories and experiences with a sunrise and sunset. Take the weekend to relax while watching one, make a memory, and talk about it with your scholar. It will make for great conversation next week!
Math
Our first-grade scholars are now moving on to Unit 6-“Numbers to 20.” They will learn how to count, read and write within 20. Two-digit numbers within 20 are introduced as being 1 ten and additional ones and 20 as being 2 tens. (15 would be said as “one ten and five ones.) In order to count objects such as picture cutouts, students will first make 10, then they may count on from 10. Number cards are used to help students recognize the numeral representing the number within 20. They will learn to associate the number-word with the symbolic representation: twelve = 12. Once they are familiar with the numbers within 20, students will learn to count backwards within 20 as well. This will help them recall number sequence within 20 which in turn will help with the comparison of numbers within 20. The students will learn the terms: greater, greatest, smaller, smallest while comparing sets of objects and sets of numbers.
Literature
We will be discussing the fable, "The Maid and Milk Pale." We will be learning to balance items on our head, making a bird's nest, a spilled milk activity, and more.
Items needed:
paper plate
string or yarn
liquid glue
I hope your scholars are enjoying the fables and activities.
Other Announcements
Please remember to send your scholar to school with a labeled water bottle (they are not allowed to drink from the water fountains but can fill their water bottles up from them), and sweater and/or coat when it is cold.
Tying shoes…we appreciate your support by teaching your scholar how to tie their own shoes for their safety. Thank you!
One of the ways our students can do something productive during dismissal time is silent reading! Please send your child to school with a book to read from home. Thank you 😊
