This week in First grade...

Feb 17-20

Thank you to everyone for donating your time, talents and supplies to our Valentine Party!  The students loved celebrating their friendships and enjoyed eating ice cream sundaes!  Thank you as well for all of my treats!  The flowers are still beautiful and the candy is being shared with my family!  I truly appreciate your kindness!


HOMEWORK FOR THIS WEEK
Since this week is a short week, I will not be sending the reading homework home.  However, please encourage your child to read books from RAZkids.   There was Math Homework in your child's Tuesday folder. Math is due on Friday!

 REMINDERS
Monday: President Day.  Student Holiday.
Tuesday: Tuesday folders come home.  Please  return the signed Tuesday folder the next day.
Wednesday: Guidance Lesson with Mrs. Reyes 
Thursday
Friday: Library Day.  All library books are due by 8:00 AM


READING and WRITING
This week we will be using our research skills and learn about two important presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  We will ask open-ended questions and develop a plan for answering these questions.  Our plan includes exploring a variety of sources such as books, digital books, Pebble Go, and Brain pop Jr, recording the information we gather, and organizing our ideas and information in our writings.   

MATH
We will continue working on place value.  We will work on number lines/number track, locate and place numbers on a number line based on their value.  We will compare the place value of whole numbers up to 99 using comparative language such as greater than or less than. We will use symbols such as >, < or = to compare the numbers to 99. We will work on problem solving involving ordering the numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least.


SOCIAL STUDIES
This week we will learn about a few historical figures such as Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Garrett Morgan, and Richard Allen who influenced our nation by their individualism and inventiveness. We will learn about their inventions and the contributions that these important people made to our lives.

Thank you SOOOOO Much!!
I'm so excited to have so many parents willing to come in and read, write and help in our classroom!
