March
13th-17th
Here’s a peek at next week!
Phonics Family Words: rainbow,
cupcake, butterfly, ladybug, friendship, sailboat, starfish, cowboy,
sunflower, goldfish
Phonics: compound words
Reading: Daily 5 with emphasis on beginning, middle, and ending. We will be finding evidence in text to support answer and retelling the story. What was the author's purpose? This week we will be reviewing skills we have already learned. (Text features and comprehension strategies)
L.Arts: We will focus on compound words, synonyms and antonyms.
Writing Workshop: Students have been exposed to all genres of our first grade standards. This week we will begin to review opinion writing and look at how we can improve upon what we already know about opinion writing. We will focus on elaboration.
Math: Students will review double digit adding and subtracting during Number Talks. We will focus on measurement this week. We are looking at comparing different lengths. On Friday, students will get to build on their graphing skills as we graph Lucky Charms and analyze our findings.
Science: Students will investigate different animal habitats. They will learn about rainforests, wetlands, oceans, arctic and desert. We will look at what animals need to survive in each area and why other animals from other habitats would not be able to live there. Ex: A polar bear would not be able to survive in the desert.
Positive Discipline:
We are continuing to focus on finding solutions to our problems so we can take
ownership of our behavior and actions.

Calling All 1st Grade
Parents!
Ms. Granger needs volunteers to help with the 1st Grade Musical,
"Lemonade!" Help is needed with the scenery and
costumes for this performance. Workdays to help with scenery will
take place on the following days:
Monday, March 13
Thursday, March 16
If you are able to help, please come to the Art & Music
rooms from 2:30-4:00 pm. Children are welcome, and they can even help, so
you can write a note for any school-aged children to stay after school on any
day you are able to work. You may want to bring your child a snack for
after school.
Please contact Lindsey Pollack at LHPollack@hotmail.com with
any questions or if you are able to help in any capacity! Thank you!
