March-In like a Lion?

It sounds like it's going to be another chilly week.  Please make sure your kiddo is dressed appropriately.  Shorts are not appropriate for this time of year!  We had lots of tears last week during recess from cold kiddos.  I do not let students call home or stay inside at recess if they are not dressed for the weather.  I can't wait for spring!

HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ALL FIRST GRADERS FOR MAKING IT TO FUN FRIDAY!  Everyone from Mrs. Martin's, Mrs. Dimock's, and our class got to participate in Fun Friday last week!  Can you believe that?!?  We had so much fun building towers with pretzels and marshmallows!

We have a dentist coming to visit and give a presentation on Friday.

We are going to have fifth grade buddies this week. Most kids will have two fifth grade buddies.  This is usually one of their favorite first grade memories.

In reading, we are entering Unit 4 Week 4. Our Essential Questions are: "What insects do you know about?" and "How are they alike and different?" Our genre focus in reading groups this week is fantasy.  We will also be working on labeling this week.

In writing, are continuing our opinion pieces.  The kids and have writing conferences to make sure they have all the components.

In math, we are continuing to add within 100.  We will be reviewing the strategies we have learned so far--draw a picture, use an open number line, and use the 100 chart.  This week we will also learn how making 10 can be a useful strategy.

Have a great week!
