Hey first grade families! We spent the week working on our school and classroom routines together. Our Safari day was awesome! The children enjoyed watching their teachers act the “wrong” way and getting the chance to model the “right” way. Definitely a fun day together!
Math: We started Unit 1 this week. We are working on breaking apart our numbers to find number partners and reviewing our shapes. We will continue with Unit 1 next week.
Reading: We read Have You Filled a Bucket Today? We also made a chart about what it means to be a Bucket Filler and what it means to be a Bucket Dipper. We also read a bus poem and looked for sight words.
Writing: Each day we have been adding to our “Name of the Day”. The children really enjoy writing about their friends!
Science: We read about Monarch butterflies this week and made a chart about what we already know about caterpillars and butterflies.
Housekeeping Items:
- If you haven’t yet, please send in 4-6 pictures that show things or people that are important to your child. We will be gluing these to writing folders so you will not get them back.
- Next week your child will take his/her first MAP test. This is a computer-based test so we can see how your child is learning and how much they know. We will take the MAP test 3 times this year. Each time we will take two reading tests and two math tests. It is very important that your child gets a good night’s sleep the night before and eats a healthy breakfast that morning so they are ready for the test!
***Please check your child’s communication log DAILY. Your child marks his/her behavior in the log each day. I ask that you please initial below where your child has marked each day. This helps show your child that we are all on the same page! Thank you!!

- 9/13 & 9/14 – MAP reading test
