Dear Parents, June 3, 2013
Can you believe it is June already?! The time is flying by and before you know it, we will be on summer break!
We are continuing on with our review of first grade! This includes all reading strategies, comprehension skills, grammar, phonics, and sight words we have learned thus far! We will also begin the writing process of our Zoo Report. This will be completed in class and centers upon the subjects, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Art. As we have finished our spelling book and have spent time focusing on phonics related to our final theme, I have decided that we will spend the rest of the year practicing spelling through review. That being said, there will not be anymore spelling words or spelling tests for the rest of the year.
In math, we will be taking our test on addition and subtraction facts to 20. For the last few weeks of school we will be spending our time reviewing some important concepts we have learned throughout the year as well as receiving lessons on telling time, measurement and adding 1 digit numbers to 2 digit numbers!
We will continue with our study of matter with a very fun and exciting lab experiment on Tuesday! I can’t wait!
In Social Studies we will have a chance to share our classroom projects on the country we researched this past week. We will continue to discuss language and how we communicate with people all over the world. Don’t forget, items are still welcome in the classroom! The students love seeing these items and I have decided to keep it up and running until we finish our unit just before the end of school.
In religion, we will focus on our Family Life Series and learning how our love grows for God and everyone in our world.
