Last week in 1st grade we started Zoo Phonics with words in the "ad" family. This week we will be working with words in the "an" family. ban, ran, can, fan, man, pan, tan, van, span, scan, plan. Have your first grader show you the zoo phonics moves that go with these words.
In science we will study shadows and how they move through out the day.
In math we are learning to read a clock face and tell what time it is. Students should be able to tell time to the hour and 1/2 hour by the end of the week. Help them practice at home! Help them identify the times they do things. For example leaving for school, going to ballet, or track, etc.
Homework- Students were on fire for homework last week. In the homework folder you will see the STAR Reading (at least 8 STARS are required) and a homework menu (these are optional).
This week you will see book bags come home. Please return the book and zipper bag to their backpack every night. I will ask them to pull them out every morning.
