What are we learning in First Grade now?
Social Studies: We are starting to learn about Lewis and Clark. We are discussing the Louisiana Purchase, Sacagawea, and much more!
Writing: We are continuing our Opinion Writing, focusing on how to create convincing and true reasons to support our opinion, rather than just stating "I like it." We are also learning about how to create a captivating introduction and conclusion that state our opinion.
Reading: We just finished learning about the central message of a story (also known as the lesson the author wants you to learn from the story). We are moving on to comparing and contrasting characters and their adventures in a story.
Math: We are still adding and subtracting! We have gone through adding and subtracting a double digit with a single digit with both no regrouping AND regrouping. In 1st grade, we refer to regrouping as "making a new group of 10." We learned how to add and subtract a double digit with a double digit WITHOUT regrouping before break, so over the next two weeks, we will be focusing on double digit +/- a double digit with regrouping. We will also be reviewing all of the strategies and concepts that have been taught over the last 4 weeks to review and make these ideas concrete to the students!
