Math- We
officially started our Step Up to Grade 1 Math and it is going pretty
well. The class is so excited to be
doing “first grade math” and we also sent home the information for the Prodigy
Math that we set up in school and can be done at home. If you need more information on either,
please let us know.
Science- We are
also done Science and will be reviewing some of our Key Concepts that we taught
this year. They include, but are not
limited to: hibernation, migration, life cycles of plants, butterflies, frogs,
etc., metamorphosis, living and non living, weather/calendar, and Earth/sky. We will continue to have Weekly Readers each
week to review Science and Social Studies topics.
Reading- Our new
story is “This is the Way We Go to School” and we will be working on Drawing
Conclusions. We will review the literary
features of Plot. Our Amazing Words are:
cable car, horse and buggy, Metro line, trolley, skis, vaperetto. We will be learning about how children around
the world go to school. This is the last
story in Unit 5 and we will be starting Unit 6 (our final unit) next week.
Phonics/Grammar-
Our
letters this week are Yy like in Yellow and Qu like in Queen. We will be identifying both letters at the
beginning of words. Please continue to review
all sight words. We will be reviewing
verbs for action words in sentences.
Handwriting/Writing-
We will
continue to write sentences and respond to prompts. We will continue to review the rules of: capital

make sure it makes sense.
