Hello, Room 122 Parents,

Welcome to the month of November!

A month to appreciate the many blessings that we have, as well as a time to learn about being generous with others.

Here are our curriculum highlights for this week, as well as any announcements that are related to first graders.

This week in:

Religion

We will finish Lesson 5 this week and take the Lesson Test on Thursday.

We will review "How to Say the Rosary" and have a quiz about it on Wednesday.

On Friday, we will begin Unit 2/"We Are Followers of Jesus". We will begin Lesson 6 and learn that "Jesus Had Many Followers".

Math

We will begin Chapter 4/Addition and Subtraction Relationships Within 10

Reading/Spelling/Writing

This week we will finish Module 2. 

In this module, children discovered that their family and community are special as they read both nonfiction and fiction selections. These texts encouraged readers to explore how they fit within their family and their local community. They also provided children with a sense of belonging to both their family and community.

Children learned about the characteristics of families and communities and that communities are special places to live. The module explained how the people who live there, including family members, work together to make the community better for everyone.

 In Fundations, last week the class took the Unit 2 Test. Please sign the Unit Test when it comes home this week.

 We will continue in Unit 3. We will review Trick Words learned last week and will have new Trick Words:   as   has   to   into. These are words we will learn to read by sight. This week the children will review digraphs wh   ch   sh   th   ck. This works nicely in parallel with our reading program that reviews ck.

Our Word of the Day will be:  much.

If you have any questions about the curriculum, please reach out to me.

Have a great week,

Lisa McVeigh
