Welcome!! We
are having a wonderful year in 1st grade. Here is a
description of what our day looks like. The children will begin each
day with Morning Meeting. We greet and build our community of learners
at this time. SWR is our spelling, writing, reading program, where the
children work with writing letters, sounds, word families and sight
words daily. Writing Workshop is a time the children are exposed to
what good writers do and engage in the writing process on a
developmental level. Read Alouds are the time we share wonderful
literature and work on comprehension strategies. Literacy time is when
the kids read both independently and in guided groups. They work with
words and go to thematically-based centers. Math is done using the
Everyday math program. You will see the parent connection with our
Everyday Math Homelinks. Social Studies and Science themes are
incorporated throughout the day and activities are taught at the end of
the day. The children eat snack every morning. Please be
sure to send a healthy snack daily! |
