Classroom Update (September 6-10, 2010)

Math: We will continue to have fun learning and playing math games in our new math series!!! Specifically, we will be investigating equally likely outcomes, the calendar, working in small groups, and then we will be exploring with math materials! The first graders are really enjoying all the fun math games that are introduced with our math everyday!

Reading: We will be reading and talking about many different stories. We will be listening for rhyme, beginning, middle, and endings of stories, and we will also be thinking about how to retell a story that we read the day before.

We will continue to review our letter sounds and high-frequency words. We will be focusing on the letter sounds /b/, /l/, /o/, and /k/. Our high-frequency words for the week will be she, and, said, are, do, this.

Writing: We will continue to practice writing our letters the first grade way. The letter sounds we are working on daily will coincide with the letters we practice in penmanship

Religion: We will be learning about the Blessed Trinity. We will look at how God sent his own Son, Jesus, to us and how Jesus is God’s greatest gift. We will then focus on how we believe that there are three Persons in one God, while talking about the sign of the cross and the Blessed Trinity.

Social: We will be looking at bus safety. We will spend our time looking at the proper way to behave on buses. We will talk about ways to keep ourselves safe, how to listen, and how to act on the school bus!
