Our first grade music program is here! It's on Thursday at 6:30! Doors open at 6:00! Per Ms. Donovan you will keep your child with you until Ms. Donovan announces them to come with her in the cafeteria.
Clothing attire: Your child's costume for the program is jeans or black pants and a plain white shirt (t-shirt or button up is fine). Your child will also wear the same attire on Friday for the school performances.
I look forward to seeing the program also! Please make sure to wave at your child before the program but not during the program so they are not distracted.
Phonics: Continue with Long u--u-e (mule), ew (few), oo (spoon), u by itself, (music)
Compound words- butterfly, sunshine, homemade
Reading to work on at home! Wow! The kids read the nonsense much quicker this week! Thank you for working on this at home!
*Nonsense words--I'm sending home a word list to have your child practice reading with cvc words. Read a row at a time until can read it fluently (quickly) like any sight word. Then go to the next row!
Math--Composite shapes--using pattern blocks to make a different shape
We will be using our creativity using shapes to make pictures!
What to work on at home!
*Review counting by 10's starting with number: 7, 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, etc.
* Use random numbers and ask 2 more, 2 less, 10 more, 10 less
* Have your child start counting forward from 88, 39, 105 and go up 10 numbers
*Have your child count backward 10 numbers beginning at 105, 98, 86
Science- Plants!! This week we are going to learn about the life cycle of a plant and the job of a seed. We will learn which vegetables are root vegetables and which ones grow on top of the ground. The class will make a plate diagram demonstrating both!
Two growth projects! We planted grass see in a cup to watch it grow! I added your child's picture on the cup, so it will hopefully look like they are growing green hair!
We also put a lima bean seed in a wet paper towel and then in a baggie. We will keep a journal drawing pictures of the growth we see from the seed every few days! It'll be fun to watch the root and stem sprout!
Animal unit coming up! In two weeks we will begin our animal unit. We will end our unit by making an animal habitat the week of May 12. Each child will need a shoebox to make their habitat. Please hold on to one at home until I let you know when to send them in! It can be any size, but an adult size shoe box may work best so they have space to create. Size 10 or above may be a little too big though. :)
We are so excited to bring a field trip to our school for the first graders on April 26! I will give out more information on this when I have shared it with the class. :)
Book Fair! Our BOGO shopping day is Friday, April 29 at 1:40-2:40! Your child may bring money or you can put money on ewallet for your child. This is so handy so money is not lost! See the back of the book fair note sent home from Mrs. Arter!
