Week 8
Here’s what our CA first graders are learning in our 8th week:
Reading: This week we focus on character traits and how we find them for a character. The books we are reading include, Koala Lou,Marsupial Sue, Officer Buckle, and Recess Queen. As you read with your child at home, stop and ask them what is the character feeling? What are their action and what do they say? All this helps us to find their character traits.
Phonics: Students will create syllables from words and learn that each syllable must have a vowel sound in it
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 age appropriate in first grade and we will move them into using lower case letters as we progress.
Math: This 8th week, we are reviewing for our interim tests. Fact families will be our focus this week. 2+3=5, 3+2=5, 5-3=2, 5-2=3
Core Knowledge: We will start MAPS next week after break
Core Virtue: October's core virtues are honesty and integrity
