August 20-24, 2018 Week 2

We had a great first week of school❣  We were busy reviewing school and classroom rules.  We also reviewed kindergarten skills.  This week we will begin our first grade instruction.  

We have a new reading series called Fountas and Pinnell Literacy.  It focuses on small group reading instruction with students.  We will have shared reading time, interactive read alouds, guided reading groups and students will have independent reading time.

Each week we will read two focus stories and work on reading skills, grammar, and phonics.  Our two stories this week are Elizabeti's School and David's Drawings.  They are fictional stories that are based on children going to school.  

We will work on beginning sounds in words, create rhyming words, and clap syllables in words.  We will work on writing complete sentences.

In Math we will make and read data from a graph.

We will rotate Science and Social Studies lessons.  This week we will have Social Studies and learn more about rules for safety, order, and fairness.
