A note from Ms.
Smith…
Gracie’s
surgery went very well! They were able
to remove the dislodged cartilage, and ended up not having to repair the
ligament. Great news! She is on the road to recovery already, and
was even able to go to school today.
Thank you again for your patience with me being out so much the past few
weeks!
We have made it
to the last week of April! It's hard to believe we will be starting our last
month of First grade.

This week in
Reading Workshop...
We
will present our Independent Research Projects during Reading Workshop on Monday and Tuesday. Then we will move on to Perfecting our Craft as
readers. We will think about all of the
things we've learned this year. We will make a
list of all of the things we do as good readers. Then we will
enjoy reading some fun fiction!
This
week in Writing Workshop...
We
will begin review the steps of the writing process. We will plan a story by creating a beginning,
middle and end picture plan or draft. Then we will
think about adding interesting characters, describing our setting and including
a problem and solution. We will do things that real
authors do as we write this week. We will also
spend time thinking about how to revise and edit our work as writers.
This week in Math...
We will continue learning about
fractions. This time we will follow and area model (think pizza) and relate
equal parts to that model. We will discuss halves and fourths as equal parts or
a whole.
This week in Social Studies...
We are going to relate Folktales and
Fairy Tales to our study of culture in our community. We will read some
folktales from other countries and cultures and discuss what they mean.
We will celebrate and learn about Earth
Day on Monday. We will
think about things we can do at home, at school and in our community to help
the Earth every day.
Have a great week!
