1st Grade News
Dear First Grade Families,
Our First graders had a great week of learning. Next week students will get prepared to start our new reading unit, Wor Detectives. In Spanish, they will start a new writing unit How to Books. In phonics, they joined Rasheed in a celebration because they are becoming Phonics professors. In Math, students will generate addition and subtraction equations or fact families through picture cards.
Weekly Learning Goals & Tasks
English Literacy
Learning Goal
PHONICS: Focus on studying how words usually make a long “A” sound when there is a silent “E” at the end of the word.
What readers & writers are doing at school...
READING: Readers are detectives on the hunt, ready to be aware of any words that may challenege them, Detective s will work on monitoring their reading and re-reading when making a mistake. They will be on the lookout for common endings such as-s and -ing and make the links between the sounds they hear and how they are represented.
PHONICS: Readers and writers will be word detectives who are always on a mission to learn more about words. They will look for tricky words all day long - during reading, during writing, and especially during word study.
What readers & writers could be doing at home...
PHONICS: Use what we practice about “The Case of the Silent E” to read the book “Fire fighter”. Remember to hear, say and notice that words usually make a long “A” sound when there is a silent “E” at the end of the word.
