Dear Family,
Phonics:
This week we
will be learning dipthongs! A dipthong is when two vowels come together and
make a completely new and unexpected sound! We will learn /oo/ as in tooth, and
/oo/ as in foot.
This week’s
red words are would, very, does, friend, and great
Math:
In math we
will be learning our new math facts, “doubles plus one.” We will also be focusing on all our math
facts to help the students become more automatic. Math facts should be memorized and be
recalled automatically. We will begin
new math fact pages to support this practice.
Social
Studies:
Penguins are
a-poppin’! We will be reading to learn about penguins and all the different
locations they can live. Did you know
all penguins are native to below the Equator?
Science:
Since so many
penguins do live where it is cold, (but not all penguins as we will learn!), we
will use ice to help us learn about solids, liquids and gas.
Special
Days:
Congratulations! Your first grader is 100 days smarter on
Tuesday! We will celebrate our 100th
day of school. Please have your child
bring in 100 snack items to share, such as 100 Cheerios, 100 gold fish
crackers, 100 chocolate chips, etc.
