Curriculum

Word Work

This week we worked on pre- and re- while continuing to work with vowel teams daily. Our heart words this week were many, because, almost, true and honest. These are words that do not follow traditional spelling rules. Our FANCY vocabulary words were ’frustrated', ’cheer', 'emotion' and ’focus'. 

Reading

This week we read the diary series by Doreen Cronin. We made text to text, text to self and text to world connections.

Math

We will be spending the remainder of first grade reviewing skills we have learned such as reading and creating graphs, work with the 100's chart and number line, time to the hour and half hour and sums of 10.

Writer’s Workshop

We started out last writing  a memory book. It is my hope your Krile Kid has this treasure to one day share with their very own first grader.

Social/Emotional Learning - Life Skills

This week we discussed friendship. One of the most important life lessons I hope your little leaves first grade with is....life is always better with a buddy!!

Social Studies/Science

This week we learned turtles were the inspiration for the modern day bike helmet. We also discussed US symbols.
