Happy Friday!
Thanks for all the parents and students who came out on Thursday for Student Led Conferences! It was a great day of celebration to see how far we’ve all come in 1st grade. I’m excited that we have 2 more months to continue to grow!
This week:
Reading: Our focus was “Fairy Tales.” These stories are super fun to read!
This week we read, Rumpelstiltskin, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Elves and the Shoemaker, and Rapunzel. We tried to look for common themes throughout all Fairy Tales including a good opening (Once upon a time…) a good ending (and they all lived happily ever after), royalty (kings, princesses), love, magic, good characters, bad characters, and special numbers or repeated phrases. Some Fairy Tales have all of those and others only have some of them. The students enjoyed all the stories that we read!
Math: We finished up Chapter 6 and our first math book! The students did great working on double digit addition and subtraction! Please celebrate with your child tonight as they bring home their math workbook. (Feel free to have them work on the empty problems! :D)
Writing: We are continuing to write letters. The students will get to send their own letters next week!
Bible: We didn’t get to do much Bible this week because we were practicing for Student Led Conferences but today we learned about the end of Saul and Jonathan. They both died in a battle against the Philistines. David heard the news and he cried and was sad for both of their deaths. Soon we’ll see what happens when David becomes king!
Social Studies: This week we learned about the Police Station and Police Officers.
Next Week:
Spelling Words: that what this with which then when white where path put each down
Bible Memory: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
