Last week students completed their NWEA reading assessment. All the students showed tremendous growth in the reading part of the test! Our math portion of the test will be on Tuesday, January 19th. You will receive your child’s individual NWEA report when report cards are passed out. I passed back your child’s unit 4 math test back on Friday. The students did really great on this test! Keep it up first graders! Below is what we will be working on this week.
Spelling: We will begin our phonics unit on consonant blends. This week we will focus on the /fl/ and /pl/ blend. Here are this weeks spelling words:
flap, flag, flip, plug, play, plate
sight words: said, here
Below are some games for your child to practice with blends:
Science:
This week we will be learning about various tools to measure weather. Students will be using a thermometer to compare the temperature outside and inside.
Math:
Students will be comparing numbers using the greater than, less than, and equal to symbols.
Here are two games your child can play to practice this skill:
