It’s Tuesday and I have your Remote Learning assignment. I want you and your family to check out the Remote Learning tabs on the class website. Be sure to check and complete the “Assignments” and “Attendance” pages.
I am working on more options with an Enrichment piece. I will let you know when this is up and running. You can expect to see your new assignments each morning by 9:00 a.m. My office hours will be: 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. daily. I will be checking emails and available to support you with any questions or concerns during these time frames. Mrs. Buckley wanted to me tell all of you that she is thinking of you and misses you, also.

Hey First Grade Families,
Here we go on an outside the classroom learning adventure! Not being present for the children is a huge challenge, but what I can provide is continued access online to our curriculum, daily assignments, and suggested creative learning experiences. These assignments will grow and build over time. This is not the equivalent of a full school day. Time spent on assignments will vary according to family and child needs. Time should be spent in real-life learning: cooking, playing outside, exploring the natural world around you, and being involved in whole-hearted learning and family experiences. I hope you are doing well. These are crazy times and please put the needs of your family first. Education can’t happen unless your emotional being is healthy. As you enter this new “normal”, take this time to figure out what your family routine will look like. Consistency and routines are the key! It’s Monday and I have your first Remote Learning assignment. I want you and your family to check out the Remote Learning tabs on the class website. Be sure to check and complete the “Assignments” and “Attendance” pages. This will help me to test the platform to ensure that we can continue learning together. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you for your support. This week with our Wonders program we will focus on the Essential Question: How do animals survive in nature? We have loved discussing, reading, and writing about animals over the last several weeks.
Our phonics focus is the Long Vowel Oo spelling patterns of: o, oa, oe, ow. Our spelling words are: low, boat, no, row oat, toe Sight Words: over, more - - with exposure to: find, food, start, warm On Monday we will be doing a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) activity. We will be building Leprechaun traps in the classroom in hopes of catching that tricky little fellow. We had such a great time at the Read-A-Thon last week. We practice our reading all day, every day... all the time. Our class collected the most money – yahoo!! As a result, next Friday we will have an ice cream party in class. This week will be a review week for us. There will be nine “review” Sight Words that your child will be reviewing and be responsible for Friday’s test. If your child gets all of the words correct on Monday’s pre-test, they will not need to take the Friday Spelling Test.
was from, some, why, today, all, when, what, where Grades close this Friday with Report Cards going home on Friday, March 27, 2020. As such, we will be doing lots of reviewing and assessing this week The Essential Question with our Wonders program is: How do animals help each other? We will be talking and reading about how animals help each other when looking for food, eating, and sometimes survival.
This week we have a new long vowel study: Ee with the spelling patterns of e, ea, ee: me, feed, seat, we, keep, beak Our Sight Words are: other, because - - with exposure to: blue, into, or, small With our math program have focused on place value and money. Once place value is understood money becomes very easy. If you look at this amount: $1.25. we can easily switch our place value understanding to money. It would look like this: 1 flat, 2 longs, five cubes. We will continue working with fact triangles. We already know about the Commutative Property of Addition (turn-around facts). If 5 + 3 = 8 then 3 + 5 = 8. Using just the numbers 3, 5, 8 we know two additional subtraction facts automatically: 8 – 5 = 3, 8 – 3 = 5. Word Problems will appear several times this week helping us to understand the “math” that is involved with all the extra “words”. This week in Science we will answer the question: Why do the stars come out at night? Your children have learned so much about the sun and shadows. It will be great to now learn about the stars. We will be participating in the Read A Thon on Thursday in the Library. A sheet was sent home just before vacation explaining this wonderful fundraiser. We had such a great time at the Historical Society. A huge thank you to the wonderful volunteers who made “long ago” so interesting. Below are pictures from our visit. |
