Happy Friday!!
Here’s what went on in first grade this week:
Reading:
Good readers…
Skip a word they don’t know and come back to it
Back up and Reread
Cross check the pictures and the words
Check for understanding
This week we practiced Read to Someone. We learned that we need to sit EEKK (elbow, elbow, knee, knee), our voice level needs to be quiet, we need to stop and check for understanding. When our partner doesn’t know a word, we can ask them, “Do you need coaching or time?” This gives them a chance to ask for help or to try it again. We did it today for 10 minutes!
Writing:
Good writers use spaces between their words.
Good writers use the correct upper case and lower case.
Good writers use a capital letter and a period.
Math: This week we learned all about how to make 10. We first figured it out with magnets, then we colored a bar of of blocks to see the pattern. Then we played lots of math games! We used 10 cubes and a cup to hide some underneath, as well as used dice to roll and cover up a cloud with the other sum on it.
We also used our number grids this week to count up and down (back). The students did great!
Bible: We finished our first unit in Bible with lots of epic stories! From Noah’s Arc to the Tower of Babel, it’s been great to see how God makes a promise to the people and never ever breaks his promise. We are excited to learn about Abraham next week.
God's Story: Noah from Crossroads Kids' Club on Vimeo.
Next Week:
No Spelling Words: Review of short a and short o sound.
Bible Memory: “The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” Genesis 12:1
