May!! Wow! Only 15 1/2 days left of school! It has just flown by! Your kids have come so far this year in all areas of first grade! I am so proud of them!
We enjoyed Ernie Miller coming with their animals. See the pictures below of the animals and the kids holding up the ecosystems of the animals.
Today we began our animal unit learning about parents and their babies--What their babies for each are called and how they take care of them.
We will also be finding out what mammals are and which animals are animals.
Animal life cycles will also be part of our unit. This week we will learn about the butterfly life cycle.
Phonics--We are finishing with "ar" and moving on to the r-controlled sounds ir, er, ur. These sounds are tough to learn when to use them. We will talk about when we hear the /er/ sound at the end of a word with more than one syllable, it is usually an-er.
High frequency words: your, because, always, want
Math--Chapter 10! Our last chapter is on Three-Dimensional Shapes (cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, sphere)
We will be learning how many faces/vertices they each have, which ones can stack to make a composite shape, and what faces are on objects. ie. a box has a square as a face.
Pictures from Ernie Miller!
Eastern Screech Owl- so cool!
