We're Ready for First Grade!
This is our last Smore newsletter of the year! Mrs. Meade and I are so, so proud of how much each and every student has grown and blossomed this year!
Conversation Starters
As a way to foster conversations with your child about what we are learning, please ask him/her the following:
We have recently been writing persuasive letters during Writers Workshop. What does it mean to persuade someone?
Magical Mathematicians
Please read the following problem with your child and help him solve the problem.
Mrs. Smith has 6 apples. She needs 10 apples to make an apple pie. How many more apples does she need? Write the equation and illustrate.
Your child can earn a special reward by drawing a picture to illustrate the math problem above. Please return the math work on Monday.
Reading in Action
Read a story to your child. Ask your child to.....
Tell what happens at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the story.
Literacy Workstations
Writers Workshop
As writers, we can write letters to persuade others.
Reading Workshop
As readers, we can summarize stories that we read.
Math Workshop
As mathematicians, we can solve equations to find the missing addend.
Social Sciences
As Scientists, we can name animals that are oviparous and explain what oviparous means.
Family Activities
Please share family activities with us. We will try to provide time for your child to share about their special activities in class and also post some of the pictures in our newsletter. This is a great way for us to share with one another and build our classroom community/family.
