Reading: In reading this week we are continuing with nonfiction book clubs. We are learning how we can learn together, how to learn as much as you can from each section, and how to retell the most important things you learn. Here are a few photos of the book clubs in action!

Writing: Writing topics have been chosen! We have a range of topics that students are going to be working on in the next few weeks. Ranging from songs and poem to brochures and posters. Ask your child what they chose to study!

Word Study:  Unit 10 packets were sent home today!

Math: In math this week we are taking our test for Unit 8. We will then go back to the unit that we skipped which is Unit 7. In Unit 7 students are learning about shapes and time. It is a fun unit to end on in 1st grade!

Social Studies: We started talking about communities, but specifically we are looking into needs and wants in the community. How some people sell goods and services and how you need to budget money into things we need or want. We will be doing a close reading and sorting this week to learn more about it.

 Let me know if you have any questions!
