Hello! Grade 1 today .....


In phonics we have been learning about words that end with -le. Today we worked really hard on making our hard and soft sound with the letters C and G. Examples: Soft C- pencil, face, ice. Hard C- cake, clock, cat. Soft G - age, page, huge. Hard G - goat, gave, green. 

Math: We have finished Chapter 10 and 11 review today and will have an assessment on Friday. This will include counting by tens and ones as well as estimating and sequential number orders. 

We have completed a short introduction to the new Science Unit 9: All About Matter. The important terms for this unit include: matter, property, texture, weight, temperature, matter, mass, solid, liquid, gas, mixture and dissolve. We will be spending the following weeks learning about these terms.

I kindly remind you tomorrow to have the students bring an old t shirt or smock for painting since we will be doing a community project of painting the walls in our building. The kids will also be having a movie afternoon given by the student council, the movie and snack entrance is $70.
