A hard copy of the weekly newsletter will go home on Mondays, but I will also post it here.
Mrs. Korwatch’s 1st Grade - April 13-17, 2026
Monday - PE
Tuesday - Music
Wednesday - Art
Thursday - PE
Friday - Music
This week we are continuing Module 5 of Eureka Math. We’ll cover lessons 5-9 if you’d like to follow along at home in the Apply book. We are also continuing with Unit 10 of Fundations and focusing on adding -ed and -ing to base words. We started our Wit & Wisdom unit 4 module that focuses on different Cinderella stories around the world. My favorite unit! Today we read Glass Slipper, Gold Sandal (beautiful illustrations!) and we’ll read the classic Cinderella and Cendrillon (Caribbean version) this week. We’re wrapping up plant discussions and will soon start economics for social studies.
This Week’s Optional Challenges:
Students: Write Mrs. Korwatch a letter. This can be about anything you choose (spring break, summer plans, how your day went, etc.), but remember good handwriting, punctuation, and capitalization.
Family Members: Instead of asking your child, “How was your day?” here are a few different questions that may generate more in depth conversations about the school day.
What are your goals for yourself during this last quarter of the school year?
What is something you’re proud of this school year?
What have you improved on this school year?
