Week 5-6
Here’s what our CA first graders are learning in our 5th week:
Reading: This week we focus on Beginning, middle, and end of a story. The books we are reading include, Jennie's Hat, Manana Iguana, and The Cat. As you read with your child at home, stop and ask them what was happening in the beginning, middle, and end of the story..
Phonics: This week we are focusing on the short vowel sound for -u. We will make words and find their rhymes in our reading text and through out our other subjects.
Writing: Students will begin writing their numbers to practice their handwriting. We will stress write from the top and move down, as well as meeting the top , bottom, and middle dotted line. Using all upper case is still agappropriate in first grade and we will move them into using lower case letters as we progress.
Math: This 5th week, we are learning about strategies for addition. Students will write numbers as tally marks, add numbers in any order horizontally and vertically, add using a number line, and represent addition sentences with pictures.
Core Knowledge: We are excited about our new unit, the Human Body. This week we will learn about the circulatory system and the brain. We will also begin to create all these systems in a project.
Core Virtue: September’s core virtues are Respect—treating others with high regard—and Responsibility—doing your part for others and your community.
