Family Focus
This year we are taking more of a family focused approach to homework. We believe that spending quality family time is vital in the success of your student. We will provide family friendly, engaging homework activities and assignments. We would love if you would send us pictures of these activities and share them with us.
This weeks Family focus: We are discussing place value currently in math. A fun game to play is place value war. This is a great family game to play with a little friendly competition. Rules are attached below.
Academics
*The rule this week will be vowel consonant with silent e. The silent e makes the vowel say its name.
Practice the words on the list and also encourage your child to think of more words that fit the rule that are not on the list. Students will be tested on 5 words from the list that was sent home and 5 more that follow the rule.
Reading: This week we will be reading "When I was Young in the Mountains" in which we will focus on setting and asking literal questions.
*Starting next week, books will be sent home based on end of 1st grade reading level.
ELA: We will be focusing on Nouns (person, place, thing ).
Math: We will continue to discuss place value up to 1,000. Students will need to know the different ways to represent a number up to 1,200.
Science: Our focus this week will be on physical properties of matter.
Social Studies: Students will be learning about U.S./Texas symbols including pledges.
