We've had a busy few weeks in first grade! We enjoyed our time raising and releasing butterflies throughout the month of May. Thank you to all of the volunteers that made our release possible!
Important Dates/Events
Reading: I am currently working on the end of year Fountas and Pinnell reading benchmark assessments. If you have questions about your child's reading level or progression, please let me know. Here is a link to find out more about F&P. http://mrsleary1a.blogspot.com/p/benchmark-reading-assessments.html
Math: In math we are wrapping up our study of geometry. Students will use the iPads in the coming weeks to make some original shape creations using their knowledge of plane shapes and solid figures. Up next will be a final unit with our math program, Fractions. In the remaining time in math during the school year, we will touch upon additional concepts in time and money.
Science: In science we are back to our study of rocks. This week students will be working with pebbles and sorting them by attribute. We will work to sort river rocks next week which will include, sand, pebbles, silt, rocks. The kids are having fun with this!
Religion: In religion students are reviewing the members of the church and how different people can play different roles.
Writing: In writing, students are working to pull together all of the skills they have worked on this year. We completed out May portfolio pieces, which focused on our study of butterflies from caterpillar to their release. I am excited for you to see the progression of their writing from September to June in their portfolios.
