First Grade Expectations
As we are quickly approaching the end of the year, we are working diligently on displaying first grade behaviors! Some of our expectations include: following 3 step directions the first time given, working quietly & independently for up to 20 minutes, and producing quality work.
What's coming up next week:
Next week in reading, your child will revisit many previous learned skills such as identifying characters, the beginning, middle, end, problem and solution and comparing and contrasting.
In word work, we will be learning about vowel teams such as ue, ai, and ea, .
In writing, students are encouraged to write at least 3-5 sentences, including a beginning, middle, and end. Students need to remember to capitalize the pronoun "I" correctly, spell sight words correctly and use punctuation marks. It is important that their errors do not interfere with the meaning of their writing. We will be reviewing narrative, opinion, how to and informational writing for the rest of the school year.
Many students are rushing to write their names and simple words. You can help with this at home by reinforcing legible handwriting with your student. Students need to be able to write words using correct letter formation and place them on the lines correctly. This is a skill that is necessary for first grade learning!
In math, we will be reviewing previous taught skills in preparation for first grade!
In social studies, students will begin learning about the purpose of Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
