Hello Fmailies,
This is our last week before Spring Break and then only 10 more to go! I can not believe we have almost made it through 1st grade!
All week we will be working hard presenting and reviewing.
In spelling the students are reviewing contractions. What is the symbol we use? All of the spelling words are contractions for -not and -will. In language arts the students will explore the wonderful work of Dr. Seuss. We will read Green Eggs and Ham, And to Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street, If I ran a Zoo, and so many more! Friday we will celebrate Dr. Suess' birthday and enjoy a pizza party. In grammar the students will review all of the verbs! Here is a great link to explore Seussville!
In unit study the students will continue their project on community. They will make streets and begin construction on the big map!
In math the students will be reviewing facts families, place value, and skip counting.
