Hello Families!
This week is our Family Gathering!! Please come watch all the hard work your child has done!
In addition to practicing for Family Gathering the students will be learning new words, more about fractions, and more about the world we live in!
In language arts the students are reading The Dot, a wonderful story about a young artist who discovers a hidden talent. The spelling skill is -ea. When two vowels go a walking the first one.....! In grammar the students will be exploring more adjectives. What do adjectives describe? The topic for unit study is maps! The students have made maps, studied maps, and now they will pull all of the maps together and discover exactly where we are! We will be reading Me on the Map. In math, fractions are on the brain. After we have mastered fractions the students will learn about probability!
It is going to be a great week!

Hello First Grade Families,
I hope everyone had a great Spring Break! I heard a lot of great vacations stories today about the mountains, parks, camping, the beach, and visiting family. I also enjoyed the break but was ready to come back and see everyone's shining faces!
In the classroom this week the students will be learning new and exciting material. In language arts the students will be reading Mama's Birthday Present, a story about a little boy planning a wonderful party for his mom. It is not until the end of the story he finds the best present!! The comprehension skill is drawing conclusions and the grammer skill for the week is adjectives: shapes and colors! In spelling thes students will discovery another way to spell long a (ai, ay). The students will become cartographers in unit study by exploring maps, globes, and even fishing our community map. Finally, in math the students will become fraction experts by learning numerator, demonator, and differnt types of fractions (1/2, 1/3, and 1/4)!
It is going to be a great week and I am excited about being back in school!
