This week in First grade...

November 29- Dec 3

Reminders:
Tuesday Parent: none
Monday folders for December: Yan Zuo
*Due to the holiday break Monday folders will come home tomorrow (Tuesday).

-We are collecting new, in the package, underwear and socks for the Round Rock Clothes Closet. There will be a bin outside of my classroom.
-We will have a compliment party on Friday to celebrate our success during the can food drive.

In Reader's Workshop we are working on building fluency and comprehension skills. Have your child make connections to their lives, other stories they've read, or the world around them as they read. This skill helps them to better understand the purpose of reading.

In Writer's Workshop we are working on completing the writing process. We finished our Scarecrow stories and they will come home in the Monday folder next week.

In Word Work we are working on the ee sound.
Rule: The ee sound is spelled ee as in feet.
Spelling words: seek, keep, green, feet, bee, sleep
Challenge words: wreath, giving
Sight word vocabulary: some, good, if, ride, not
We will start sentence dictation this week. Our sentences are:
If you are not good Santa will not come.
Some toys ride in his bag.

In Math this week we are finishing our unit on Patterns by skip counting on hundreds charts by 2's, 5's and 10's. We will also work on learning if numbers are odd of even. Our next unit will be Compairing and Ordering Numbers to 99. We will continue this unit for the remainder of the semester.

In Science this week we will begin our unit on Matter and Energy. We will first discuss properties of matter. We will learn about identifying properties in different objects and chart them in our Science Notebook.

Have a great week!
Mrs. Caballero
