This will be our 4th week of First grade! I can hardly believe it! We've
been working so hard on following our 4 agreements and learning to be a
cooperative group of students.
First grade will begin our first Project Based Learning activity.
We want to help the people effected by Hurricane Harvey. We are going to hold a
Coin Drive. We will need your help! Please find a time to sign up with your
child to collect coins. Our collections will take place before school starting at 7:15 am.
I will share a sign-up sheet with you!

This week in Reading Workshop...
We will learn all about Partner Reading (Read to Someone)! We will
practice the right way to partner read. We will talk about how
partners plan when they read together. We will discuss how
partners learn to talk to each other about the books they are reading. We will
think about how partners have to cooperate and find ways to solve their
problems when they read together.
This week we will be reading all about Symbols in our Community. We will
learn about symbols such as the American Flag, Liberty Bell and the Statue of
Liberty. We will discuss why these symbols are important to our country
and their meanings.
This week in Writing Workshop...
We are building our stamina as writers! This week we will focus on
writing in complete sentences so our stories make sense. We will
also discuss strategies to help us spell words we may not know how to spell. We will
think about how writers stretch out sounds and do their best to spell words
that are hard! We will even discuss what to do when writers have "hard to
draw ideas". Writing is hard work so we have to take small steps!
This week in Science...
We will continue to look at objects like scientists do! We will
observe objects and describe their properties with our 5 senses. We will
discuss with our groups the properties that are the same and different.
This week in Math...
We've been building our number sense and exploring teen numbers. Now we
are going to order numbers from greatest to least and least to greatest. We are
also going to compare numbers using words like "less than" and
"greater than". We will add symbols in a later unit. We will
learn how to solve problems like mathematicians in First grade!
The Life Skill of the week is...
Integrity: To act according to a sense of what's right and wrong.
Have a great week!
