I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break! We went to visit my grandmother in Kansas then came home to recover from the stomach virus the kids picked up on our visit! We ended our week with some fun activities around town. The Blue Hole in Georgetown was super fun for my big girls! Kids can explore, wade in the water and swim if you are up for the cold water!
We are in the home stretch of First grade! This week we will send home a reading calendar. In second grade the students will be asked to track their reading minutes. We want to help you and your children make this a habit! There will be a calendar in your child's Tuesday folder.
Reminders:
Monday (3/19): Welcome back!
Tuesday (3/20): Tuesday folders will come home. Please return them on Wednesday.
We do not have Library this week
Wednesday (3/21):
Thursday (3/22): Field Trip to Zach Scott Theatre. Please have your child wear their Caraway First Grade T-shirt or a grey T-shirt (if they don't have a First grade shirt). They will need a sack lunch this day. We will eat in the classroom before we leave for our field trip.
Friday (3/23):
This week in Reading and Writing workshop...
We will continue our exploration of Poetry as readers and writers! We will begin to look for sensory language in Poetry. We will listen for details make us think of something we see, hear, smell, touch or taste. We will think about how this type of language engages us as readers.
As writers we will also think about the "ingredients" that poems need. When writing poetry we write about things we care a lot about! It helps us, as writers, think about the meaning of our poetry. We will focus on "showing, not telling" to help the readers of our poetry feel our poems in their souls!
This week in Social Studies...
We will be wrapping up our unit on economics. We will read about different ways citizens make choices to meet their needs in our community.
This week in Science...
We will be learning about Birds! This will help us prepare for our Project Based Learning activity! We will learn about the external characteristics of birds, movement, food and habitat as well as their life cycle!
In First grade we hatch chicks!! Our eggs will arrive next week!! It will be a very exciting 21 days as we wait for our babies to join us! Our estimated hatch date is April 18th!
This week in Math...
