The Buzz
Ms. Larrabee's 1st Grade Class
The Buzz This Week (11/30 - 12/4)
Writing: We took a break from our Small Moments unit to write our Student Treasures published book and letters to our pen pals in Eudora, Kansas. We're going back to the Small Moments unit this week, where the students write a personal narrative. Before Thanksgiving break, I conferenced with your child to decide what they wanted their writing goal to be for this paper. Throughout the writing process of our second Small Moments piece, your child will be working on their writing goal.
Reading: We're beginning our Non-fiction unit this week. During this unit, we'll learn the difference between fiction and nonfiction stories, realize non-fiction book's parts and how to learn about a topic using the text's features.
Word Work: This week our studies in vocabulary will be with the consonant s blends: sm, sn, sp, and sl. The new sight words we'll be practicing include: see, many, time, first, been.
Science/ Social Studies: Our studies in light and sound will end this week as we make different shadows with light. Then, during the middle of the week, we'll begin our unit on Geography and Mapping.
Math: This week we're continuing our studies with Geometry. We'll continue to explore shape properties including sides, vertices and curves.
