The time after April vacation always seems to fly. There are so many traditional year-end activities that happen during the last 2 months of school. Here is the list of what I have so far for your calendar planning:
Friday, May 21st: First Grade Musical of "The Three Piggie Opera" (will most likely be in the morning...exact time TBD)
Tuesday, June 8th: First Grade Field Day (12:30-2:00)
Friday, June 11th: Poet Palooza (will most likely be in the afternoon...time TBD)
Reading Workshop: We finished up our Character unit of study and will be learning more about the other story elements of setting and problem/solution. This ties in nicely with the Realistic Fiction stories that we are working on during Writing Workshop.
Spelling/Phonics: Ahoy Mates (oy/oi): foil, enjoy, oyster, spoil, choice
Math: We will continue to learn and practice different strategies for addition and subtraction. This week's math lessons are on: Solving Subtraction Problems, Using the Vertical Form for Subtraction, Counting Back to Subtract and Counting On to Subtract.
Science: We will be starting a unit of study on plants. We will learn about what plants need for survival, the different kinds of plants and the parts of a plant. We will also be talking about Earth Day which is this Thursday, April 22.
