Dear Parents, March 27, 2017
Here is what first graders are doing this week…
Language Arts: We are continuing our work on our opinion writing unit. In phonics this week, we are focusing on the sounds for “y”. When the y ends a short word it typically will have the long /i/ sound. If the word is a longer word, it will typically end with the long /e/ sound. For example, “try”/“my” and “happy”/“rainy”. Our new spelling words are from Unit 29 in our Spelling book and will be practicing our sounds for “y”.
Math: We are still in Unit 8 this week. We are learning all about fractions!
Science: We are working on Chapter 5: Weather! We will be doing a daily weather report in our classroom as we observe the changes in our weather.
Social Studies: In Unit 4 we will be learning about pictographs and how to save our resources.
Religion: We are reading from our textbooks again this week. We will continue our discussion of Holy Week and Jesus’ gift of Himself.
