Mrs. Drolet's First Grade Explorers!

What is your child learning this week?

Math: We are continuing with 10 more and 10 less.

Language Arts/Daily 5/Writing: The phonics focus this week will be long i digraphs. For writing, we are starting opinion writing this week. We will be discussing opinions on topics such as lunch or recess, favorite pet, etc. In my opinion, this is an exciting type of writing for students! 😊 We are continuing to do Daily 5 rotations.

Science/Social Studies: We are starting to learn about landforms this week. Ask your child to try to identify landforms for you to practice.

Reminders:
- Penny Wars have started! Have your child bring in pennies to put in the 1st grade jug. We want as many pennies as possible. All other coins can also be brought in and used to sabotage other grade levels!!!
- The 100th day of school is on Thursday! Your child receive a paper with a baggie attached to it on Friday. Please have them put 100 items of their choice (beads, macaroni noodles, erasers, etc.) and bring this to school with them on Thursday to share with the class.

Important Dates:
- January 17: STEM Night! (6:00-7:30pm.)
