Grade 1 Mrs. Waugh 



 



Week at a
Glance (April 29-May 3)



 



 



 



Wednesday
Night: Pack library books.



 



 



 



Nightly:



 



Read good-fit books. Have your child
provide a retell of the main events. Also, when your child reads a word containing a sound team point it out
to him/her. Try keeping a running list of the sound team words you and your
child find in his/her good-fit books to practice reading and spelling at home.


Practice/review all sight words and
Sound Teams. If your child can read all of
the sight words, have him/her try spelling them or writing them in a sentence.


Practice the “no excuse” spelling
words for grade 1.



 



Reading :



 



 



 



When reading
at home with your child, make sure that he/she is self-correcting. Students are
encouraged to monitor their own reading and to back-up and reread if something
does not sound right/make sense. The goal is for students to be able to do this
independently without needing prompting.


Continue to
work on reading comprehension with your child by having him/her answer
questions (both literal and inferential – “why do you think the character acted
that way?”) about the books he/she reads. Have your child respond  to books by making predictions about what
thinks could happen next, and by giving his/her opinion on events in the story.


 

Writing:  We
will be experimenting with different forms of writing (How To, Non-Fiction,
Fiction, Poetry, Persuasive etc…)


 



 



 



 



Math: Review
Numbers to 50



 



 


 



Have your
child practice counting forwards and backwards between 2 numbers to 50.
For example, count from 45-52, from 37-30, etc.


Write a
number to 50 and have your child tell you what the number is.


Say a number
and have your child write it (up to 50). Have your child practice any
numbers he/she writes backwards.


Ask questions
such as; What comes before 46? What comes after 47? Etc.


 

 


 



Ask questions such as: 



 



If
there were 5 children playing, how many fingers would there be altogether?


If
I had $25 and I wanted to give each friend $5, how many friends could I give
money to?


I
have 43 hockey cards. How many groups of ten will I have? How many will there
be left over?


I
have 37 books. How many groups of 5 can I make? How many will there be left
over?


 


 



 


 



We are working on estimation to
20. Try placing a group of objects (buttons, coins, etc.) in front of your
child, and have him/her estimate how many there are. Talk about using 10 as a
referent (a small amount to refer to). For example, count out a group of 10 for
your child and say “if you know this is
what a group of 10 looks like, do you think there be more or less than 10
altogether? How many would you estimate there are in all?”
