First Grade Weekly Updates
March 20-24
Welcome to this week's edition of First Grade Weekly Explorations! Each week, we will share materials to supplement our lessons for the week. The newsletter includes videos and links for all subject areas: ELA, math, Science and Social Studies. As work is completed, make sure to sent pictures to your teacher, through Class Dojo or Schoology.
Reading / Writing
This week the first grade team will be checking to see what your child has learned so far in reading this year. We will be reading passages and books, filling in charts, and answering multiple choice questions. We have provided some links to stories the boys and girls can enjoy. This week we will also be starting our Research Writing unit. Check out the video for information about using our Library Lightbox collection.
