On this blog
page you will find the objectives for our academic subjects. It will be
updated at least every month. Please check out your individual child's
teacher page for more information that pertains to that classroom.
We, the first grade teachers, are really looking forward to getting this year underway. We are very excited to meet some new faces and also get reacquainted with past families. Please feel free to send us an e-mail or leave us a voice message at school if you have any questions or concerns. Our personal information is at the bottom of our individual blog pages. We look forward to meeting with each of you.
Here’s what our CA first graders are
learning these first week:
Reading: This second week, we are reading books that identify
the who, what, where, when, and why in our stories.. Our read-aloud books include several Pete the Cat books, The
Night Before First Grade, First Day Jitters, Rainbow Fish, Dr. DeSoto, and How
to Fill Your Bucket.
Phonics: In the first
two weeks, we are reviewing kindergarten phonics concepts, including letter
sounds, short vowels, syllables, and rhyming.
Writing: Students will begin writing their letters to practice their handwriting.
Math: In the first two weeks, we are
reviewing kindergarten math concepts such as addition strategies, numbers to
31, shapes, patterns, and number bonds.
Core
Knowledge: Our first unit
in Core Knowledge is Fables. We
are studying fables from different cultural backgrounds: stories from Aesop’s
Fables, Anansi, and Brer Rabbit.
Core Virtue: September’s core virtues are Respect—treating
others with high regard—and Responsibility—doing your part for others and your
community.
