Grade 1

April showers bring May flowers...Can not believe that we are now in the month of May. The end of school is knocking on the door!!!! We are close but we are not done. Here is what we will be doing this month. 

In Math, we will be subtracting double digits, working on shapes, and equal shares. Please continue studying math facts. IXL is a great tool. 

In ELA, we will be starting Unit 6, the last unit. This unit focuses on endings, the types of sentences, adjectives, and vowel sounds. There will be a new sight & spelling word lists. Please continue reviewing the past lists and skills that were taught. Their study book has a lot in it and goes home every day

This month the children will be doing an Animal Research Project. They are to pick a "wild" animal (no pets or farm animals) and do some research on their animal. They will fill out the paper that was already sent home. Now the exciting part, they will dress up as their animal!!!!  They will be presenting their research on their animal. Please have them practice! All information was sent home. Can't wait to see our "wild animals".

In Religion, May is the month of Mary.  We will be praying the rosary and talking about Mary as Jesus' mother and ours. We will continue to work on saying prayers.

Happy Mother's Day!!
