We had another
fantastic week in first grade. Thank you for sending
the signed report card envelopes back promptly! I have almost received all envelopes. Here is what we will be doing next week:
READING
This week we will learn how to do research to find about information that we are interested in. Researches choose a topic they are interested in and they think about what specific information they want to know about their topic. Researches look at different books to find information and they record important information in an organized way.

WRITING
In writing, we will continue writing expository texts. We will think about topics that we are expert at and write factual information about our topics. Our main purpose is to teach others. So we will make sure to include any details that we know about our topics.
MATH
This week we will start geometry. We will identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons, and describe their attributes/characteristics. We will create two-dimensional shapes with different manipulatives and also compose shapes by joining two, three, or four, figures to produce a target shape in more than one way.
SCIENCES
In science we will continue to work on different seasons, different weather in each season including relative temperature, such as hot or cold, clear or cloudy, calm or windy, rainy or icy. We will discuss types of weather information and ways that scientists gather and record weather data.

HABIT #7: SHARPEN THE SAW: I take care of myself. I spend time with family and friends. I find meaningful ways to help others.
THANK
YOU!
Thank you for remembering to send your children to school with
warm clothes and coats. Sometimes, even
on cold days, we will still go outside and run around just for 10 minutes. The kiddos do well with inside recess most of
the time, but there are days that they need to get outside and run out some of
that energy!
