Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break, it sure is great to be back! This week we will be working with more blends, or as we call them "letters that go together." Our students have been learning to hear those consonants that blend together at the beginning of many words, like: star, flame, climb, and snap.
We will wrap up our work with the narratives we are working on this week. We started the piece with oral storytelling to a partner, moved to illustrating a story board to guide our writing and then began our writing. This week we'll focus on editing and publishing by giving our narratives a title and a cover, like a real book!
This week we will also be circling back to the topic of friendship. We'll be reading some stories and discussing how to be a good friend. If you can find a few minutes to have a conversation with your son or daughter about kindness and respect for others it would be much appreciated. Your support really helps strengthen these concepts.
The last two weeks have been busy, we were only able to add the words went and want to our word wall. Please look for an updated word wall sheet to come home in your child's red folder today.

This week in Math we will solve more than and less than story problems, find the difference between numbers using subtraction, review the <, >, and = symbols, work with Part-Part-Whole, work with Turn Around Facts (3+4=7 and 4+3=7), and communicate mathematical thinking through our Number Talks.
We will be finishing our communities social studies unit this week. Today a meteorologist from CBS58 came in to talk to the first graders. Make sure to ask them about this! The children will be learning about maps and creating a make-believe community with a partner.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to parent-teacher conferences. It was great to meet with you and talk about your wonderful children! As always, if you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to email me.
