Dear 1B Families,
This week we continued to focus on retelling the story and using beginning sounds to sound out words. We are also learning how to make predictions when we read. Our letters and sounds we focused on this week were: m, s, n, and w. We also started our vocabulary journals this week and have learned about tittle pages and the table of contents. In math, we finished chapter 1 and started chapter 2 on addition. We are continuing to study how human beings grow in science and will have our first science test on Friday, October 4, a study guide will come home next week. The first graders are excited to be developmental scientists and have learned about the stages of infant, toddler, child, adolescent, and adult. Next week we will learn about our habitat. The first graders did a wonderful job at mass in the parish hall this week.
