What's Happening in First Grade?
Miss Campbell's Spring News Letter 2016
Happy Spring!
Reading
We will be continuing to work on Unit 3. I love this unit along with Unit 4 because we really get to read some great literature. This week we will be reading Frog and Toad, one of my favorites! We are continuing to work on phonics skills and reading fluency. I have sent home the Unit 2 Benchmark and we will be taking the Unit 3 Benchmark later this month.
Remember practice, practice, practice, your reading at home!! :)
Math
This month in math we have been working on time. Students are very excited about being able to tell time on analog and digital clocks! We will also be learning about balancing equations. This is when the "alligator" comes in as we learn about the greater than and less than signs. We are continuously practicing our math facts, The more fluent students become with their math facts the easier some the the mathematic concepts we learn become!
