The Standards for the Week!
Math-We have been learning how to make an addition sentence. What does it mean to add? How do you write an addition sentence? Ask your child the 3 different ways we can get our sums in addition, we call these are strategies.
This week we will begin to learn about place value. Place value is the digits (number) place, location, or value of the number. In the number 19: the “1” represents 1 tens (10) and in the tens place, the “9” represents 9 ones (9) and in the once place. If we were to draw it out it would look like this:
l xxxxxxxxx = 19
Language Arts Standard: Synonyms...words that mean the same!
Reviewing: Antonyms. We will also have a center this week working with short vowels "a" and "e".
Word Their Way- We are talking about word families. Word families are words with the same ending sound and they rhyme.
Handwriting: Oo
Reading- We continue to learn about identifying the main character in the story and being able to discuss the main character. We are also reviewing about what an author does, what an illustrator does and what is important about a title.
Writing- Personal Narratives. As we write these stories students must remember these stories have happened and are true. There are 5 words we use in these pieces: I, me, my, we and us. We will continue to write these stories and as I conference with the students I am looking for complete sentences and checking to see if they are taking the time to CUPS.
We are learning what good writer's do? What is CUPS? C= capital letter, U= understanding (the story makes sense), P= punctuation, S= spelling. We continue to review First Grade writing expectations when a child meets and exceeds when he or she writes a story. In first grade we are writing 3 or more sentences.
Social Studies- We will learn about Benjamin Franklin. Did you know he was a writer, statesman, and inventor?
We go to the Media Center on Friday! Return those books so that you may borrow new ones.
- Individual Picture Day is on Wednesday, Sept. 14th! Bring those smiles.
- Performing Arts permission forms are still missing on MANY of our students.
Bye For Now!
