This week:
Reading: We read stories about Christopher Columbus and informational books about sink and float. We discussed what the table of contents does during guided reading.
Math: We made a poster of the attributes of shapes. They learned how many sides and points. We also built different objects with shapes.
Writing: We finished our opinion stories on fairy tales. We started learning how to write a list with commas.
We also learned about continents and oceans. They built a ship like Columbus to see if it would sink or float.
Next week:
Our words next week: can said we your when
We will be doing Autumn activities. We will research about fall on a computer and read books to find the main idea and details. In math, we will continue to learn about shapes and use them to review addition and subtraction skills. We will write a story about something we do in the fall.

This week:
Reading:
We read more fairy tales and practiced retelling them. We also compared and contrasted some different versions of Cinderella.
Math: We learned about shapes and their edges and vertices. We also made designs and added up all the shapes we used. We made castles out of 3-D and 2-D shapes.
Writing: In writing, they wrote about their favorite fairy and gave their opinion about why they liked it.
Next week:
Sight words: all but not were what
Please practice all the words we have learned! They are in their planners and on the back of their folders.
We will be learning about Christopher Columbus. We will make a ship to see if it will sink or float and discover continents and oceans on the world map.
In reading, we will be finding the main idea and details of stories we read about Christopher Columbus and we will subtract with shapes in math.
Brod Baggert is coming to Jefferson on Wednesday of next week. He is children's' poet and first grade gets to write a poem with him! Also our wonderful PTO is purchases all of his books for our classroom!

Please read every night and mark it in the reading log. If you miss a night, read 2 books the next night and write them down 1 per line.
Thank you for all you do to help them learn!
This Week:
We had a lot of fun learning about fairy tales and making a map. We read different versions of different fairy tales and discussed the beginning, middle, and the end of each book. Next week they will use that to help them retell the fairy tales we read.
In math, we focused on subtraction. The math symbols are still a little tricky for some. They are doing a great job adding!
In writing, we wrote our own fairy tale. The students were the characters, but they got to pick the setting.
We began making maps of one of the fairy tales we read. We learned about map keys and the compass rose.
Next week:
Sight words for next week: by had one or word
They are getting more difficult, please practice writing and saying them!
We will continue to make our maps and retell fairy tales. We will be learning about 2-D and 3-D shapes in math. They will get to create a castle out of the shapes.
