Hello Families!
Fingers crossed, we hope to continue with regular classroom structure and routines for the remainder of the school year. We appreciate your support and look forward to continuing the collaboration between home and school! Literacy This month our Fundations phonics program will focus on continuing to recall Trick Words, and reading, tapping, and spelling words with glued sounds (ex. -ing, ang, ong, ung, unk, ank, onk, ink) and R-controlled vowels (ar, or, er, ir, ur) We are also focusing on long vowel sounds and vowel combinations. In reading groups we will continue to focus on decoding strategies and recognizing spelling patterns in words. We will also delve deeper into reading comprehension activities such as exploring point of view, finding the author’s purpose for writing, and asking and answering questions. The writing focus this month is narrative writing. iReady is part of our daily classroom routine, but students may also access iReady lessons anytime on the BVSD student portal, including evenings and weekends. Username: first initial, middle initial, last name01 Password: BVSD lunch number.c Math Unit 5 will focus on Place Value. We will specifically focus on unknown partner numbers with teen totals, subtraction with teen numbers, practice with teen problems, and three addend word problems. Students should be working on automaticity of math facts 0-20. Please help them practice by making flashcards, or you can print some from this website: https://www.k5learning.com/free-flashcards/math Science/Social Studies This month we’ll be studying Light and Sound. We will discuss President’s Day, and we are quickly approaching the 100th Day of School. Valentine’s Day Celebrations Will will be having a Valentine’s card exchange on Monday, February 14th. Your child can bring a decorated box/bag for Valentines as they complete them (any day up to the 14th). In addition, thank you for not sending in candy or treats with Valentines. We will be emailing parents a list of students in the classroom for the cards. On Valentine’s Day, we will be having a 1st grade breakfast in each of our classrooms, and then watch a movie together as a grade level. If you would like to contribute to the classroom breakfast, please see the Google Doc from your child’s teacher. Thank you for helping us make February 14th a fun day! Thank you!
