What We’re Learning Next
Week:
Reading: First
grade is going to be very busy next week!
Students will continue to practice point of view. We will also continue to engage
students in a read aloud of a first person or a third person selection. Then, we will identify the point of
view as well as some evidence from the text. If time permits, we will do a bit of role playing from the
perspective of several characters in our selections. Finally, we will write a letter from the perspective of a
character in one of our selections to truly reinforce point of view.
Math: Chapter 12 Two Dimensional Geometry
Students will work on finding shapes in
existing shapes, take apart two-dimensional shapes, identify equal and unequal
parts, and begin learning about halves and fourths.
