Happy Birthday to Shyla and Joy!

We hope you had a wonderful day.♥

First in Math Rankings: 1st place in first grade at Rocky Mount. First in Math is a great way to work on math accuracy and fluency.

Social Studies: Next week we finish our unit on Me and My Map and start learning about Harriet Tubman.  Please make sure that your child knows their home address and phone number.  Don’t forget to help your child work on their Famous Americans Project due on February 2nd.

Math: Students are working on 10 more and 10 less, learning the ‘making 10 to add’ strategy, and honing their skills on working word problem.  The week concluded with our weekly addition Pop Math, 1-minute assessment, to check for addition fluency and accuracy. And, the much-anticipated estimation jar was filled with individually-wrapped life savers, making for a sweet treat to close out this week in Math.

Reading: In Phonics, students learned about long e digraphs. During Reading, students used a informational Past and Present text to work on their summary skills. They completed activities in their “How to Make A Snowman” flip books. In small groups, students rotated through various reading centers, focusing on event sequencing, analyzing character, making inferences, informational passage comprehension, describing how characters respond to various events and challenges, identifying problem & resolution, retelling key details in text, identifying the main topic, identifying and creating rhyming words, and the list goes on ….

Writing: During our Writing segment, students worked to complete their opinion organizer on what they want for dinner, making sure to state their opinion in their introduction, incorporate at least three reasons and supporting details for each reason, and to restate their opinion in their closing.

Our class also supported our Falcons!

 

It takes all of us – teachers, parents, students – working together to achieve greatness. Thanks for all that you do to help support what we’re doing in the classroom.
