This Week in First Grade:

Math: This week we will be focusing on Topic 2: Understanding Subtraction. We will also begin introducing Math Centers. These centers will allow for enrichment and extra practice for those who need it. 

Reading: All three first grades will be mixed up into reading groups this week. We will also be working on taking facts from non-fiction reading to choose an opinion. 

Writing: This week we begin working on How-To writing. Students will enjoy a How-To story and then will choose a topic and publish a piece of writing using an app on the iPads. 

Spelling/ Handwriting: A new spelling list will go home this week, we will also be practicing our words in class. Every student has the word Kearsarge on their spelling list, we need to use it to sign in to our computer accounts. Please help your child learn to spell it.
