Reading: I will begin mid-year reading assessments
next week. Please encourage your first
graders to do their best reading for me.
Accuracy reading the words and retelling the story will be important.
Math: We will be wrapping up Unit 4 next week, and
they will take their test on Monday, December 12th
Science: We continued our study of the body this
week. We have learned about our heart,
lungs, and brains. See if your first
grader can tell you which one is the size of a grapefruit.
Phonics: We learned some new terms. Words like fill, puff, and miss have bonus
letters – you get one sound from two letters.
Words like ball and fall have a glued sound “all”. Your first grader should be familiar with
these terms.
