This week in First Grade:
 
Reading: We have started contractions using n't. The way that I taught the students this was...For example: is not.....I said we take the word is and scoot the word not over next to it...isnot....then we get rid of the letter o and in the o's place we add an apostrophe....is not...to isnot...to isn't. We are reading, "Icky's Play" and "The Spingle Spangle Talent Show". Now that we are really into reading, I'm pushing the students that are ready to read with expression. Other students are practicing reading fluently-trying to not stop and sound out words that they have seen a bunch.

Writing-Planning a Personal Narrative---We will write a narrative together this week, step by step. Next week they write their own.

Grammar- Forming Compound Words- bedtime, seashell, playground---turning two words into one word.

Spelling Words: isn't, didn't, hasn't, hadn't, aren't, wasn't, weren't, haven't, couldn't, wouldn't

Math--Finishing Counting on-numbers to 20...if we have time we will start Chapter 8---adding and subtracting to 20.

Religion- Finishing up Jesus is God's Son and starting We Celebrate the Eucharist

Science--Weather and Seasons, using a thermometer

Social Studies-Changes in Transportation

Art---Seasons Tree Art

P.E.--Rhythm Sticks/Spoons---Practicing for Catholic Schools Week-Cherish Luncheon

This week for homework---Please choose whether you would like to write sentences or write the spelling words three times each. Since this is a short week both are not required, just one.

Coming up:

Saturday, January 26- Parent Club Auction
January 27- February 1- Catholic Schools Week

Hello First Grade Parents!!!!

This week in class:

Reading:  Our stories this week are: "Let's Put on a Play" and "The Contest:A Play". We are focusing on the vowel pairs of 'ea', 'ee', 'oa' and 'ue'. We are also working on homophones- two words that sound the same, but are spelled differently. Our homophones are: see,sea---sale, sail---meet,meat---week, weak

Spelling Words: blue, tie, heat, keep, would, could, some, one, new, were

Math: Place-Value Chart, converting ones to tens, knowing that if you have the number thirteen, thirteen is one ten and three ones.

Religion:We Celebrate the Gift of Eucharist

Social Studies-Civil Rights-Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday-January 15th

Science: Weather and Seasons--Using a thermometer

Art: Finishing Owls

P.E.: Rhythm Sticks---Learning a song called spoons to play for Cherish Luncheon during Catholic Schools Week

Last week Report Cards went home. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Have a great week!!!
​Mrs. Scheurich

P.S. The homework changed a little bit. I replaced Spelling Triangles with writing a sentence for each spelling word. Please try to start sentences with a word other than "I".

Happy New Year!!!
Welcome back!!

Thank you all so much for all of the gifts you sent for me. I felt spoiled and loved. I hope you all had a great Christmas and break.

I didn't hear any complaints about being back in school!! We slowly eased our way back into school today. We started our day off with mass and then later on the students all went to computer and library.

This week in class:

Reading: We are learning that when vowels are together the first vowel usually makes the long sound. We talked about these vowels being pairs. This week our vowel pairs are "oa" and "ai". I tell the students, " When two vowels go walking the first one does the talking." We are reading, "Lily's Little Boat" and "The Little Horse". 

​Writing: Opinion----Generate ideas about a topic, support opinion...finish with a paragraph about if they like playing inside or outside better.


Spelling: mail, tail, nail, rain, train, boat, coat, float, load, and road

Math: Numbers to 20- Counting, writing, and spelling numbers to 20, working with numbers in a place value chart, knowing how many tens and how many ones in a number and figuring out the difference between two numbers. Also, in the homework folder I added a number line to help students with subtraction. Please leave the number in their folder.

Religion: Epiphany

Social Studies: Life Long Ago---How children's lives were different

Art--Snow Owls and snowflakes

Report cards go home on Friday

Friday is Pajama Day!!! Students will also eat pancakes. Its going to be a great day!! Minimum Day!!

Have a great week!!
Mrs. Scheurich
