Here’s what our CA first graders are/will be learning in our 34th week:
IRA: Weather (cold read and hot read) Students will identify text that they do not know and figure out its meaning through context clues and meaning.
Phonics: -ow and -ou sounds in words. (found, powder) They will make and identify these sounds in words as well as make sentences using these word sounds.
Writing: We are finishing our opinion writing unit. In this unit your child stated their own opinion about a given subject and defending it with 3 reasons. They start with gathering information about their opinion, finding a lead in topic sentence, use transition words to make their 3 points, and end with a restating conclusion. They are working hard.
Math: Show me the Money! Students will be able to name coins, count like coins, add various coins together, and much more.
IXL: If you would like to use IXL at home, we recommend these sections for practice this week:
- Counting and Number Patterns (Section A)
- Addition (Section B, C & D)
- Subtraction (Section E, F, G & H)
- Mixed Operations (Section J)
- Comparing (Section K)
- Place Value (Section M)
- Spatial Sense (Section N)
- 2D and 3D shapes (Section V)
- Measurement (Section P)
- Time (Section U)
- Money (Section Q)
Core Knowledge: In this domain, students will hear about the birth of our country, the United States of America. They will be introduced to many important historical figures and events as the story unfolds to describe how the thirteen colonies evolved slowly over time from their initial dependence on England to the status of an independent nation. In the read-alouds at the beginning of the domain, students will hear about the establishment of the thirteen colonies and will learn about the conflicts that ensued between the colonies and Great Britain. They will learn how the imposition of taxes upon the colonies by Britain led to the Boston Tea Party and, eventually, to war between the colonies and Britain, culminating in the Declaration of Independence and the founding of a new nation. Additional readalouds highlight several particularly important historical figures—Betsy Ross, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. Finally, the domain concludes with two read-alouds that focus on the role of women, Native Americans, and African Americans during the colonial time period, as well as important symbols of our nation.
