I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We spent the weekend with
my family. It was so fun watching all of the kiddos hunt Easter eggs.
This Wednesday, we will be welcoming our baby chicks into our
classroom! Your child is welcome to come
to school on Wednesday, April 24th dressed like a Farmer for 1st
Grade’s annual Chick Fest! Students do not have to participate if they do
not want to.
We have filled all of the chaperone spots for our field trip to
the Thinkery on May 9. 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.
If you still have not turned in your child’s permission slip,
please do so by May 6th.

This week in Reading & Writing Workshop…
We will begin wrapping up our unit on 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 begin wrapping up our unit on 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. We have been learning about what chickens
need to live. We will be making chicken
coops in our classroom at the end of this week!
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 Initiative!
That’s all for now! Have a great week!
