February 25th- March 1st


Thank you so much for coming to share our Fairy Tale Parade with us!  It was so fun to dress up and parade around the school! Having the entire school, along with friends and family really helped make it a magical experience for us!! We could not have done it without the support from each family!


Reading Workshop:
In Reading Workshop we will begin our unit on Fables!  We will learn about the elements of a Fable as well as read different fables.  We will complete activities that will strengthen our comprehension as we learn “the moral of the story”.
Writer’s Workshop:
In Writer’s Workshop we will complete our Fairy Tale Writing!  As we write we are learning about how to write as readers.  We are thinking about how we, as readers, like to read exciting pieces.  We’ve also been conferencing with students and listening to their ideas.  They are so creative and have written some phenomenal Fairy Tales.  We are so excited for Author’s Chair on Friday so we can share our stories!
Math:
In math we will continue our unit on Measurement.  In first grade we estimate capacity, weight and mass.  We will also discuss using a thermometer to measure temperature. 
Science:
In Science this week we will begin our unit on the Objects in the Sky.  We will be learning about what makes night and day different and how the sun affects our world.  We will read books about the Sun to support our learning.  We will record sunrise and sunset times in our science notebooks and look for patterns.
