This document provides information about the upcoming week for a first grade class. It discusses that in reading they will be working on the sound /g/ and high frequency word lists. In math, students are learning to count coins and place value. The following week they will learn about the short vowel /e/, identify story details, count by 2s, and learn that the sun makes shadows. Reminders are given about practicing phone numbers, addresses, and high frequency words. Students are asked to bring water bottles to limit bathroom breaks during class.

Peek at the Week:
o In Reading, we are working going to extend our
week due to snow interruptions! We continued
working on the sound of /g/ at the beginning
and end of words. Students are working hard
with the yellow, blue and green high frequency
lists. During centers, we practice nouns and story
summarizing (characters, setting, problems,
solution and events).
o In math, we continued to work on counting coins
and practiced place value. Students are learning
to trade pennies, nickels and dimes. This is an
important skill and can be easily practiced at
home.
o Students are taking their time and displaying
much better printing. We will be using this skill
as we practice writing words and sentences.
Coming Up:
o Next week in Reading, we will be
introduced to the short vowel /e/.
o Our new High Frequency words for next
week will be “she,had” and identify story
details and story structure.
o Students will recognize and name letters
of the alphabet as well as identify action
words.
o In math, we will work on class number
stories and review three dimensional
shapes. We are starting to count by 2’s.
o We will continue to use high frequency
words in our writing.
o In Science, we will recognize the sun
makes shadows that appears through
the sky.

Reminders
o Continue practicing your phone number and birthday,
and now start working on address. Practice counting by
1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Review our high frequency words
and practice reading simple, decodable words.
o Remember to return Library books by Tuesday.
o The weather is hopefully warming up and we will go
outside often. Please have your child wear safe sneaker
type shoes for the playground running!
o Please make sure students work on the prior high
frequency list as I am noticing they are forgetting some
of the older ones.
Please remind your child
that if they need frequent
drinks, they should bring a
water bottle. Too many
students are leaving during
instruction times. The
same is for the restroom.
Many students ask to leave
immediately after a class
bathroom break. Water
bottles need names on
them, also.
