Welcome to First Grade. We will have an exciting year reading and doing projects in our PYP units. My email is gallomc@pwcs.edu.
The September Encore Calendar may be found under Files and Documents. It is listed as Sept. Calendar 2017. Also note that we go to Spanish every Wednesday and Library every Thursday. These two rotations are no longer part of the encore rotations.
Project letter coming home next week, check your child's folder.
In science, we will begin learning about natural resources (land, air, water, minerals, soil, rocks, forests, plants, and animals).
In math, we will focus on comparing and ordering objects and using the words greater than, less than, or equal to. We will review ordinal numbers, and solve picture story problems using addition and subtraction. We will have a test on Friday.
In language arts, we continue Benchmark First 30 Days of routines and rituals. We will focus on response journals, reading logs, and introducing fiction and nonfiction stories. In writing, we continue small moments. The focus is writing like author's write.
The sight word menu chart will come home again. Use it to help your child practice learning the sight words. Send it to school on Friday, make sure to initial the different activities used to practice the words.
