Classroom News
Reading: Students
continued learning about the author’s purpose and making a claim to support
that purpose. Our week centered
around informative books. We
selected and read books which taught facts. A student favorite of the week was a book entitled Pop! This book taught students about the
history of bubble gum. Kids were
entertained by the book and also learned new information. Then, we cited evidence from the text
supporting our claim of reading an informative book. The evidence we cited was in written form. We are doing a great job with making a
claim!
Math: Students continued preparing
for second grade math by adding double digits and learning about repeated
addition. We also continued to
practice counting mixed coins.
Grammar: First grade has mastered using
the art of pronouns!
What We’re Learning Next
Week:
Reading: We will
spend our final week in school making a claim to support the author’s
purpose. This time the selections
will be mixed. Students will read
a variety of books on persuasion as well as informative and entertaining
books. Just like last week,
students will read a selection, identify the author’s purpose and make a claim
using evidence from the text.
Math: We will continue to spend time
on money while also preparing for second grade math.
Grammar: Students will be reviewing topics taught throughout
the year.
Phonemic Awareness:
Students will spend time reviewing sounds and vowel combinations taught
throughout the year.
