End of Year Awards and Class Party...
We will have our Class Award Ceremony, Class Party and Class Talent Show on Friday, May 25th (time to be announced). This is a great time to recognize everyone's abilities and enjoy their talents! Please start thinking of a talent for your child to perform on this day. A song, magic trick, joke, dance or more! Students can perform individually or in groups. I will also be leading a reader's theater group, if your child would like to join this as their talent. We will also perform a class dance! If you can't think of a talent let me know....
Homework...
Keep reading RAZkids and practicing IXL!
This week in Reading Workshop...
We will continue to review the strategies that Strong Readers use to help them understand what they read. We use our "strategy tool kit" as a reminder of what we have learned this year. At the end of First grade readers naturally use their comprehension strategies! It's fun when we can name what we do as readers.
This week in Writing Workshop...We will reviewing types of writing and reviewing the writing process. We are working to revise and edit independently!
This week in Math...We will be working on Inequality and Comparison Subtraction. Students will be thinking about the equal sign and what is on either side of it. Comparison subtraction deals with quanties that are compared with each other. An example would be, Mrs. Caballero baked 12 cupcakes. Lyla baked 15. How many more cupcakes did Lyla bake that Mrs. Caballero?
This week in Science...We will begin our unit on plants. We will study seeds this week. I would love for the students to bring a seed in any time this week to share with our class. This can be a seed from a fruit or veggie that you eat at home. We will observe these and discuss the plants they will grow into.
