Here’s what our CA first graders are learning in our 28th week:

IRA: We have finished our fairy tale unit and starting our fracture fairy tales.  This is such an entertaining unit and your child will enjoy the stories very much!

Phonics:  We will be reading and writing contractions. (For example: I'm, don't haven't, she'll, etc.)

Writing: We will be starting our opinion writing unit.  In this unit your child will  be stating their own opinion and defending it with reasons.  

Math: We will finish up with our math interim this week.  Your child has been working so hard and it is fun to see what they have learned so far.  Keep up the hard work.

  • Counting and Number Patterns (Section A)

  • Comparing (Section K)
  • Place Value (Section M)
