I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We spent the weekend getting Gracie ready for prom! She looked gorgeous!

We have filled all of the chaperone spots for our field trip to the Thinkery. Thank you to those of you who volunteered! If you still want to join us, you are welcome to meet us there, but you will need to pay the adult admission fee.

This week in Reading & Writing Workshop
We will continue digging deeper into research. In this unit, the students will use what we learned about research to complete a self-chosen research project. The students will choose a topic, ask questions, develop a research plan, and read different nonfiction texts to find the answers to their questions. In 1st Grade, this is not expected to be done independently, but with adult assistance. We will also be reading and learning about the chicks and chickens!

This week in Math Workshop
We will continue thinking about equality & inequality. This week, we will begin learning to use symbols (>,<,=) to compare and contrast numbers to 99. We will also continue using strategies in problem solving. We will focus on subtraction problems that ask the questions “how much greater” and “how much less”.

This week in Science
We will continue researching to learn more about chicks and chickens so that we will be able to properly take care of them when they hatch.

This week in Social Studies
We will think about different jobs in our community that produce goods and/or provide services, and begin thinking about earning and saving money.

Our Life Skill of the week is Flexibility!
That’s all for now! Have a great week!
