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?”
