This week in the Lambville:

Math:

Starting Unit 5. We will be looking at tens and ones, greater than and less than, number charts and calculators.  Continue to reinforce those math facts!

Reading:

Starting Unit 5. The unit is based on weather.  This week we will be working on the 5W's + H and facts/opinions.  The students will be studying words that are spelled with a /g/, but make the "j" sounds, such as GEM and words that make the long "u" sound but are spelled -ew, such as FEW. We will have centers on Wednesday and our spelling test on Thursday. I will be sending home a book report, please send this back by Monday, January 10, 2011. (Check blog for spelling list)

Writing:

We will be writing letters and setting goals for the new year.  The class will also be working on story starters/organizers.

Social Studies:

We will look into our next unit which explores the earth and the land that we live on.  The students will begin to examine maps, study the different oceans and learn about the seven continents.

Science:

We are continuing to study liquids and it is getting pretty messy! :)

HOMEWORK: Our first grade packets will be coming home today.  Please send them back once your child has completed 3 activities.

Thank you and happy NEW YEAR!
