First Grade

 

Dear First Grade Families,

Please visit the Online Learning Tab for resources your students will be using while school is closed.  I have posted a link for each special teacher's webpage on my Online Learning Page. Each teacher has information for you and your child as well. 

Happy March! We have some news and updates on what we are doing at St. Lawrence in 1st grade listed below. 

Reading: We are continuing to learn good habits readers use and how to solve and sound out words.  We will continue with our nonfiction reading and discover how we can learn more about a nonfiction topic as a reader.

Writing: We are continuing to focus on capitalization and punctuation, adding details to our writing, using the pictures to bring our point across to our reader, and use the writing process. When writing, we are continuing to work on writing with all lowercase letters unless a capital letter is needed. While writing nonfiction pieces, we will still be using nonfiction books as our mentor texts. This is our last month for nonfiction writing. 

 

Math: We are learning the importance of place value. Students are learning what it means when a number is in the ones, tens, and hundreds place. We will be wrapping up our place value unit and moving into two digit addition and subtraction. Students will be learning various strategies to add and subtract two digit numbers.  



Religion: We are learning about the Saints and the Church.
 

Show and Tell: Please have your child select one item to bring in with them Friday for this. Then, if they have something else, they can share it next time! :) I will choose four students for each week. I am going to use our class list and it will be in alphabetical order so everyone is able to get a turn equally as well. This is optional too. If students do not feel comfortable doing this, they do not have to bring something in to tell us about. Either way they decide is great! 

On Friday, March 20th for Show and tell we will have: Caiden, Frankie, Frank, Carter 

Communication is very important. I will be updating this site monthly and frequently.  This will be an important site for you to look at, as I will post important reminders, information about the content we are learning about, homework, and pictures of our class. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns during this school year together.  I can be reached at Alexa.Wolf@dor.org

Students will continue to take AR quizes on iPads during the day at school and/or in the morning when they arrive. 

Important Dates:

March 16th- Creating milestone t-shirts with Mrs. Oliver 
March 20th - Living Stations 1pm

We are having a great year and I truly enjoy working with you and your children.
God's Blessings,
Alexa Wolf
