Ms. Harris' Hoppin First Graders: October 26-30, 2015 Week 10

This week in learning we will read "Who Works Here?" It is story that tells about real people and events. Our reading skills are to blend and read long i words; identify the author's purpose for writing the story; special titles (Mr, Mrs, Dr, etc;) digraphs wh, tch, ph, ch and Saxon Phonics.

In Math we will continue to practice numeration. We will work on place value using base ten blocks and writing the expanded notation form. (Example)
draw 3 tens/9 ones

3 tens and 9 ones

30+9=39

In Science we will explore force, motion, and sound. We will have hands on activities so that students can better understand this concept.

In Social Studies we will discuss the needs and wants in a family. We will learn what is a need and a want.

*Friday will be a busy day! Students can wear their Halloween costumes and we are having a movie and popcorn and another surprise activity! Since it is so much we will take our spelling test on Thursday. Please help your child practice!
