Look At What We Are Learning:
Language Arts:Next week we will begin our assessments for sight words and reading levels. We will also talk about the care of books in our classroom and introduce writing journals.
Social Studies:
We will talk about having a GROWTH MINDSET and what that looks like for a first grade learner. We hope that these conversations about growth mindset will carry over into your homes. It is a very powerful tool for each first grade learner!
Math:
Next week we will learn to subitize (instantly recognize a group of objects). For example, when you see three dots, you do not have to count each individual dot. Instead, you instantly know that there are three dots. This is called subitizing.
Science:
We will be learning what it means to be a scientist. We will also work with science tools in a safe way to explore the world around us.
Discussions At Home:
Talk about what a GROWTH MINDSET looks like at your house. Practice saying the growth mindset vocabulary words that will be coming home.In Other News:
