Ms. Gonzalez's Newletter
First Grade, St. Mary's School
Week 3 with our Super Scholars
Hope you are starting to fall into the routines here at St. Mary's. There have been and will continue to be many changes as we tweak some of our current systems in place but we thank you for your patience as we strive to make our school run as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
I am in the final stages of uploading my brief lesson overviews to our google calendar but you can always come to this newsletter to find our math, science and social studies homework schedule.
What are we up to this week?
My Goals for the week
- take full advantage of provided instructional time
- have all students remember to take homework home and likewise bring it back the next day
- have each student get along with one another and voice indifferences in a kind manner
- incorporate our Christian faith into more aspects of our day
Curriculum Updates
Here is a brief overview of what we will be learning this week in our various subjects
LANGUAGE ARTS- Mrs. Fibelkorn will be delving more into phonics. Her goal is to have students complete homework and assignments correctly by following all directions before bringing it in the following day
MATH- We will be studying ordinals, number place value, even and odd numbers and end our week with a short assessment to see where students are at before we begin adding next week.
SOCIAL STUDIES-We will finally be getting around to our "World We Live In" Mobile that we will create in class. Thank you all for providing hangers for your students!
SCIENCE- We will continue our study on the states of matter and end with (fingers crossed!) a short field trip to a local ice cream shop at the end of the month.
CHINESE- Ms. Yang will continue her introduction to Chinese and practicing common conversational words and phrases with the students
