What's Happening in First Grade?
Miss Campbell's Monthly News Letter- October 2015
Halloween!
Reading
We are just finishing up Unit R. Next week, we will review short vowels and have our Unit R benchmark assessment. We will then begin our first Reading Street unit. This will involve having weekly tests along with spelling tests. I will be sending more information home about spelling tests in the coming weeks.
Along with our usual reading street units we have also been reading literature that fits the October theme. This week we read Stellaluna and talked a lot about the rich vocabulary and adjectives in the story. We will also get to enjoy watching a video of this beloved book on Friday!
We have also been reading away on our class chapter book: The Mouse and the Motorcyle!
Remember to practice, practice, practice reading at home! :)
Math
We just completed our first math test on module 1 and they will be coming home shortly! We have begun working on module 2 which focuses on skip counting. We have begun skip counting by 10 and 2. We will continue to work on these and begin to learn about skip counting by 5.
Here is a video we love to use in school to practice our skip counting!
