Homework for tonight

I'm sorry that I did not have a description for the math homework for tonight.

The students need to find all the sums of 10:

1+9 2+8 3+7 4+6 5+5 6+4 7+3 8+2 9+1 and color in all of those boxes (with pencil is ok). When they are finished colouring in all of those numbers, a hidden message will pop up. They need to write that hidden message on the line beside.

If they don't understand, that's ok, we can finish it tomorrow in class.

Sorry for the confusion!

Also, don't forget LIBRARY BOOKS ARE DUE TOMORROW!!!!

Mistake on the Bible Verse

Ooops!! I made a typo on the Bible verse!

Here is the correct one!

Bible Memory:  "Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Psalm 23:6

*instead of with, it should be will.

Sorry!!! :)

Homework Checklist and information for the week!

New this week:

Reading - Please have your child read with you, or by themselves for at least 10 minutes every night. They can read the library book they checked out, or they can borrow books from my classroom library. Please let me or your child know, if you want them to check out extra books.

Mathletics: I have updated the Mathletics program to be more suitable for the 1st grade students - I'm sorry that the last one was too hard… If you would like, your child can play at home. Please email me if you would like your child's username and password.

Have a great week! :)

Friday News for week of September 8-12

Wow! What a fantastic week in 1st grade. We had 5 whole days of fun and learning!

This week:

Reading: We continued to gain stamina and made it to 10 minutes of independent reading where we stayed in one spot, read quietly, read the whole time, and started reading right away. Next week I will introduce “Read to Someone” where the student will partner read.

We also learned about characters this week! Every story has a character and we learned how to find them in our stories.

We also learned to Check for Understanding. While we are reading a book, we need to stop throughout the book to make sure we are understanding what to read. This week we read Skippyjon Jones, and When Sophie Gets Really Angry.

Math: We learned the sums of 10 this week! We first used our fingers to figure out ___+___=10! Then we did a few other games and worksheets to get the concept down. Good job 1st graders! This is the 10 cup game!

Writing: This week introduced sentences: A Sentence is a complete message that must start with a capital letter and end with a period. We also continued to practice Writer’s Workshop where the students write and share their writings.

Bible: We started the story of Abraham this week! Abraham was asked by God to leave his hometown and go to ... who knows where? Abraham is trusting God all along the way. God even promised old Abraham that he would have a son! God always keeps his promises no matter what and His timing is perfect!

Chapel: This week chapel was a recap of the Creation story. We also sang some of our favorite worship songs. You can hear them here!

Have a wonderful evening!

Friday News for September 2-5

Happy Friday! Here is a recap of our week:

Reading: We started practicing for “Read to self” and gaining stamina! This week, we made it all the way to 7 minutes of quiet, constant reading. I am so proud of them! Our goal is 20 minutes so we will continue to gain stamina next week. This week we also finished some beginning of the year assessments, as well as took our first AR book quizzes from our library books.

Look at those quiet readers!!

Math: We finished the first introductory unit of math. This included before and after numbers, tally, skip counting, and learning some fun math games! Today was the first math test and all the students did great!

Social Studies: We are starting a unit called “Me on the Map.” We first looked at the spectacular world that God made: Earth. We learned about all the languages, countries, and people that live on earth. Next week we will start to look at Asia and Japan and narrow into Okinawa. 

Chapel: This week at chapel, we learned the story of King Josiah who became at only 8 years old! He asked the people to clean out the temple and they found the Holy scriptures - God’s word! We learned that God’s word - the Bible is a “light onto my feet and a lamp unto my path.”

Bible: This week we learned the story of Noah’s Arc as well as the tower of Babel.

Next Week:
