Happy September!
Please see below for this week's news and important 1st Grade Updates!
Language Arts
We will be learning about the three ways to read, reading the pictures, words and retelling the story. Students will learn expected behaviors for reading to self during independent rotations. This will prepare us for picking good fit books! We will also work on building our stamina with other independent rotations activities to prepare ourselves for small group instruction.
We have started our Unit 1 of Fundations. In the upcoming weeks we will be reviewing the following:
The sequence of the alphabet
Letter formation from a to z
The letter name, a keyword and sound for the consonants
The letter name, a keyword and sound for the short vowels

Count to 120 (starting at any number)
Read and write numbers up to 120
Count backward from 120 (starting at any number)
Skip counting by 2s

We have defined the word community as a place where people live, work and play. We will continue to learn about communities including leaders and jobs in our community. We are excited about hosting our Career afternoons! :)
