Safari Room Sentinel
Dear families,
Welcome back! I hope your child had a great week of rest, relaxation and is recharged and ready to rock for our final two months of school!
Language Arts
This week we will be diving into the genre of narrative texts in both reading and writing. We will learn and identify problems and solutions that common fairy tales have and will try to change the characters or settings in writing our own fairy tales.
We will be learning that Flippy Dolphin also flips the sound of many consonant letters such as c making /k/ and /s/ , etc. This is a concept we will spiral back to many times.
We will continue to learn about synonyms, homophones and antonyms as parts of speech.
Math
We will revisit those complicated comparison story problems this week. I will do a ShowMe Lesson for you to review with your child if you feel its necessary and I will do a re-test this Wednesday or Thursday, after we spend some time reviewing the concepts from the Unit we tested on before Spring Break. These comparison story problems are a new concept to first grade and so I am working through how to best teach and re-teach them, right along with your child learning them :)
Our next unit will focus on time and measurement and data. More on that in the future!
Science
We are continuing our unit on Weather Watchers and will learn about more tools that scientists use to measure weather. Hopefully your child's wind sock made it home before spring break okay! :)
Social Studies
We will be studying Earth Day and how to be a good citizen to our Earth and environment in the next few weeks as well as how humans adapt and change the Earth for their wants and needs. This will continue throughout April and May as we balance learning about Science and Social Studies.
I believe that about does it for our first week back! We will be doing a lot of review and then picking up and continuing to soar through the month of April!
