Welcome to First Grade. We will have an exciting year reading and doing projects in our PYP units. My email is gallomc@pwcs.edu.
Next week in reading, the Benchmark lesson will be a Reader’s Theater, Itsy Bitsy Spider Climbs Again. The focus will be making connections, identifying cause and effect, and analyzing story elements. In writing, we will continue to work on writing facts from a nonfiction book. This will prepare us for the informational report that will be written for our PYP Science unit on animals.
In math, students will be tested on geometric figures. We will also begin a new chapter, Patterns. The chapter begins with repeating patterns and by the end of the week, growing patterns.
In science, students will begin to learn the different animal classifications. They will learn what animals eat, habitat, how they move, body coverings and other fun facts.
