Happy Rainy Friday!
I had a wonderful Parent Teacher Conference day today. Thank you to all the parents who came out to talk with me. I am really excited for how much each of your child has grown in first grade so far and it was my pleasure to share that with you.
This Week:
Reading: This week we focused on Making Predictions. Its great to make a guess about what’s going to happen in the story (and not look at the back of the book!) We read a super fun book called Ugly Fish. We tried to guess the whole time what was going to happen at the end and everyone guess it correctly! Please encourage your child to make a prediction while they are reading books at home.
Math: This week we thought about patterns in numbers again with Frames and Arrows. Based on the rule, we thought about what the next numbers in the pattern were. We even had to figure out the rule for ourselves.
This week we also learned about dimes! We practiced counting by 10 and practiced exchanging nickels and pennies with dimes. The students are going great!
Bible: We are continuing through the story of Joseph. Even though Joseph was in jail for something he didn’t do, God still still had a plan for him and God put Joseph as second in command of all of Egypt! Next week we were learn what happens when a famine comes to the land and how he will get to see his brothers again.
We are also working on a hard Bible verse. We are using this song to remember the story!
Science - This week we learned the Life Cycle of a Chick! We watched a fun video of chicks hatching from an egg. Here is our fun Friday painting activity. We used a fork to paint the chick.
Next Week:
Spelling Words: back, neck, kick, pick, sick, rock, sock, duck, have, or
Bible Memory: “Shout for joy to the Lord all the earth; worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us and we are his.” Psalm 100:1-3
