Hope you all had a great time at Family Fun Night! Here are a few reminders for this week:

Wednesday:  
Thursday: No library this week.

Caraway Science Night 6-8 PM
Homework Change: Reading Logs
We are transitioning to self selected at home reading.  I am sending home a Reading Log for your child to record the titles of the books they read.  Our goal is to read 15 minutes 5-6 nights a week.  Encourage your child to read a variety of genres.  Setting up a good reading routine will help your child be successful in 2nd grade.
READING and WRITING
We will continue our research on chicks.  The children have been working on their research books and have found the answers to many questions such as the life cycle of chicks, how does the chick grow inside an egg, and the stages of chick development. This week we will wrap up our chick research and move on to writing small moments or personal narratives.  We will review the writing process (think, sketch, and write), and write small moments that have happened in our lives.  Please have your child practice the first grade sight words at home.  A copy of those words are in your child's daily folder.The children should be able to spell them correctly by the end of first grade.


MATH
We will continue working on inequality and comparing numbers.  We will review that equal sign represents a relationship where expressions on each side of the equal sign represent the same values and inequality represent different values.  We will use objects and pictorial models to solve word problems involving joining, separating and comparing sets within 20.


SOCIAL STUDIES
This week we will learn about families wants and basic needs, and how these needs are being met. We will identify examples of goods and services at home, school, and community and ways people exchange goods and services.
