In Language Arts
This week in Reading workshop we will begin our shared reading unit on Big Books. We will start by reading Silly Sally and making a class book. I will also begin the Texas Primary Reading Inventory (TPRI), a reading assessment, to determine each child's individualized level. After this is complete we will begin small groups and take home readers.
In Writer's Workshop we will be practicing our news skills and learning how writer's are really never done writing. We will focus on becoming indenpendant as writers in our classroom.
In Spelling we are focusing on the short i sound.
Rule: The (i) sound at the beginning or in the middle of a base word is spelled i as in itch.
Spelling words: in, it, him, big, sit, did
Sight Vocabulary words: in, is, you, that, it
Challenge words: Yesterday, Tomorrow
In math this week we will practice telling time and talk about why it's important that we can tell time on an analog and digital clock! In first grade we practice telling time to the hour and half hour. Please practice this skill at home!
In Social Studies we will begin our unit on Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow! We will start with a fold out project that we will complete in the classroom. We will learn about citizens from long ago, today and talk about how we can make a difference in the future!
Have a great week! It's a short one!
