HAPPY NEW YEAR
January 1st edition
New Semester
Field Trip
SCIENCE
First graders will be learning about Night and Day, Phases of the Moon, Sun and Stars, Seasons, The Planets, etc. They love when they get to show off what they have created.
MATH
Students are also expected to be able to count by 2, 5, and 10 up to 120. We practice with them during class, but your help at home will reinforce what they are learning and make it easier for them the more they say them out loud.
Word problems are always a good thing to practice with your first grader. We are working on helping them solve these on their own with different strategies. Not only do they have to find the answer, but they will need to draw pictures to show their work and come up with an equation that helped them solve it.
LANGUAGE ARTS/S.S
In Social Studies we are going to be learning about important people. Students will be learning about biographies and autobiographies. First graders will be writing reports about famous people too. Yes, first graders will be able to write a report! How exciting is that?
