Families,

Here is a look at next week! We are starting one of my FAVORITE units in writing so I am very excited :). Enjoy!

Reminders/Dates:

• Scholastic orders are due (online) Friday, April 28th

Reading: We are still reading with topic bags! We will look at figuring out the big idea, and ways to solve tricky words (use the first letter and what you already know and how to figure it out when there isn’t a picture to help).

Writing: We are starting a new unit called “Authors as Mentors.” We will be looking at the author Mo Willems and all of the cool things he does in his books. We will try adding some of those things into our own small moment writing!

Math: We are finishing up unit 7 where we have been learning about telling time, equal shares, and 2D and 3D shapes.

Spelling: Our spelling words for the week are: had, one, not, find

Science: On Friday we will be having a special “severe weather” rotation between the three 1st grade classes. We will learn about thunderstorms, tornadoes, and blizzards.
