First Grade News
March is blowing in like a lion full of
excitement, just like the excitement that can
be found in the first grade. In March we will
be scientists working on our science projects!!
We will learn all about the scientific method
and how to express ourselves just as
scientists do. We will also be having our
spring parent conferences. At this time we will
be distributing your child’s second report
card. Stay tuned for more details.

Reader’s Workshop
During Reader’s Workshop we are now in
full swing in the Imagine It reading program.
We now incorporate the use of the decodable
books, readers and workbooks to help in
improving our reading skills. We just finished
working on the theme of maps and directions,
and are now working on the theme of “I Think
I Can”. We find that this program is great for
multi curriculum learning.
Writer’s Workshop
In our writer’s workshop we are now
working on an Author Study that will work
in conjunction with a response to literature.
Miss Vogel’s class is working on books by
Eric Carle. Miss Fierstein’s class is working
on books by Robert Munsch. Perhaps your
children might like to read more stories by
these authors when they visit the public
library. We’ve loved learning and writing
about these great authors.
Everyday Math
Is it > < or =? That is the question.
We are learning to compare values of
numbers using correct math symbols. At
this time we are also learning about” turn
around facts”, which is the commutative
property of addition. Of course we are still
reviewing time, money, and subtraction.
