Happy May!
There are only 4 weeks of school left! Last week was a short, busy week but we were able to get lots of learning done.
Author's Celebration-
This Friday is our Author's Celebration at 1:45 pm in the gym. Your child will be presenting their book series that they have been writing and illustrating over the last month. They are excited to share this with you! Please plan to come on Friday and wander around the gym to listen to all first grader's present their series writing. If the Celebration gets done early, you are free to take your child home. If you check out your child with me, there is no need to check out at the office.
Wonders/GoMath!-
We will be having a spelling test on Friday. This week's spelling words focus on words with ou and ow. In reading groups we are discussing plots of stories and identifying the problem and solution of stories. In writing, we will be working on mechanics and understanding when to capitalize and underline book titles.
In Math, we will be starting a chapter 11 on geometric shapes. Over the last few weeks, we been learning about money. Each child should be able to identify quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies and how much each coin is worth. We will also practice using those coins to add up to 25 cents. This is on the report card for this semester. If you have time at home, please help your child with this concept and give any support or extend their learning to reinforce mastery.
Important Dates:
May 10th- Author's Celebration at 1:45 pm in the gym
May 13th- Field Trip
May 17th- Field Day at 9 am
May 31- Last Day of School
