Week 10
Here’s what our CA first graders are learning in our 10th week:
Reading: This week we focus on the central message and identifying the key details. The books we are reading include The Leaf Blew In, and Henny Penny. As you read with your child at home, stop and ask them what is the key details. What is the central message and key details of the story?
Phonics: Blends are two (or sometimes three) consonants put together at the beginning or end of a word. For example, in the word "truck," tr- is the beginning blend. In the word "fold," -ld would be the ending blend. Students will practice identifying blends in words, in addition to reading and spelling them.This week we are focusing on L blends. We will find words that begin with r blend combinations. Ex. trick, treat, and truck.
Writing: First grade will begin the week with teaching how to create a "How to" writing piece. We use first, next, and last to organize our thoughts when giving a step-by-step writing sample.
Math: Interim testing
