Happy April! First grade is quickly approaching. We started our bug unit today. The students are so excited to get to learn all about bugs, their life cycles, what they look like, and where they live. We will be doing lots of fun bug projects for three weeks!
In math, we are still working on those math facts. I am hoping to have even more students join the principal's math fact club this month! Everyone is doing an awesome job. If you are seeing the math fact pages come hope with some answers missing, please work with your child on this at home since it was work not finished.
In reading, we are getting ready for our dibels test. We are reading nonsense words, sounding out words, and racing to see who can say the most letters in a minute. We are also working on fluency - reading sentences and having them make sense! Everyone is doing a super good job of reading!
We are in the middle of making our bug journals in writing. Each day students will be writing a fact about the bug of the day. When we are done with our bug unit - everyone will have an awesome bug journal to bring home and share all the cool bug facts that they learned!
Don't forget the field trip is coming up on April 15th. All students will be back at 1:30pm. Please be here at 1:30pm to pick up your students unless they go to kinder express in which case they are welcome to stay until the end of the day. All AM students must be picked up at 1:30pm.
Keep up the great work at home - if you have any questions, please email me!
