What Are We Learning?
Language ArtsReading: In our next Reading unit, students will learn how to research topics, use text features to learn more about the topics and then apply them to writing!
Writing: Authors as Mentors is our writing unit. We will be using Ezra Jack Keats as our mentor author when writing our personal narratives and adding elements to our writing. We will also explore other authors in order to discover more books and open up our reading horizons! |
MathWe ROCKED our shapes unit! The kids did such a great job and are having fun with their shape hunts, building shapes and learning all the parts. They all did so well during this unit, but we must move on to Addition and Subtraction. First up- DOUBLES, BABY! We will be applying learned strategies to solve problems and build on our prior knowledge!

Science & Social StudiesThis year, first graders have a new Science Unit- Objects in the Sky. This unit will teach us about the Sun, Earth, Moon and Stars- how they work together and fun facts about each one. We already had an in school field trip with Science Fun For Everyone in which they were introduced to constellations, moon phases and more. Be on the lookout for a Moon Phase homework sheet where kiddos will track the moon and it's phases through a cycle. This is one of my favorite units and the kiddos love it too!
