Math
We wrapped up unit 1 this week. Your child should have brought home their assessment for you to see.
We spent the rest of our week learning our math workshop routine. This will look similar to readers and writers workshop in that we will start with a mini lesson and then children will have opportunities practice skills appropriate for their individual learning needs.
We practiced working independently and in small groups this week.
We also learned 2 new games BUMP and Shake and Spill!
We will be starting unit 2 on Monday. This unit will focus on addition and subtraction strategies.
Reader's Workshop
We built our reading stamina up to 20 minutes and beyond this week! We were really excited to celebrate this milestone in first grade!
We continued our focus on getting our minds ready to read by learning that readers make predictions, retell stories, and make a plan before reading.
We learned that it is important to plan our reading so that we can keep our stamina. Readers start with familiar books first, then choose books with more challenges. This helps our minds stay focused.
Word Work
We added 5 new word wall words to our word wall this week:

We also started the new month enjoying chicken soup with rice!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Love,
Mrs. Hogue
