HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Please continue to check your student's homework folder and do homework DAILY.

You can help your child at home by rhyming words, singing songs, reading together daily, counting many different objects, and grouping those objects in different ways.  TALK to your child about what he or she is doing, what you are doing, and the world around us to develop oral language and vocabulary.

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING?

Reading:

We will be using the Imagine It! reading program this year.  It is divided into 10 units.  We are in Unit 4: Our Neighborhood.  We are reading about the different jobs people have in our community and discussing what we would like to be when we grow up.  We have also started reading words with long vowels.  Help your child at home by letting them express themselves in writing without having to correct everything.  Read together daily for at least 15 minutes.  The reading tab on this page has many links to online games and activities that will help your child practice what we are learning in class and to even extend their learning further.

Math:

Everyday Mathematics is a program based on national standards.  In Unit 4 we are learning about measurement and basic math facts.  First graders need to measure objects using inches, name the number before and after a number between 0 - 100, tell time to the hour and half hour, and solve basic addition and subtraction facts.  Under the math tab on this webpage there are links to online websites your student can use to practice what we are learning in class.  You can also go to the 1st grade math curriculum link at the USOE.org website for more information on the skills your child needs to develop.

Interconnections:

This is our social studies and science curriculum.  We are talking about jobs in our community and thinking of what job we want to have when we grow up.  There are links to online games and activities under the Interconnections tab on this webpage to learn more about what we will be discussing in class.
