Mrs.
Eichberger's Parent Letter for September 14, 2005 |
WHAT
WE DID THIS WEEK Language - First graders have been reviewing the alphabet and using completing simple writing activities. It is expected that all first graders come into the year remembering how to write a complete sentence. Enclosed is a sample of your childs alphabet and 1 -2 writing samples. Drawings about their writings are also enclosed. I have also been assessing your childs ability to read sight words and recall letter names and sounds. These skills will be foundations for reading success. Enclosed in this Thursday Folder, you may find some letter or sight word cards. Please check! Math We have been building our foundation for number sense by comparing numbers, counting with pennies and beans, and writing tallies. Social Studies We continue to study the importance of Rules in Society for the Common Good of all. We have read stories like The Lorax, Miss Rumphius, and This Land is Your Land. We also sang the famous Woody Guthrie song, This Land is your Land! |
