1. CLASSROOM NEWSLETTER Week of October 10th-14th
Miss Gades’s 1st Grade Class
WE WILL BE WORKING ON:
DON’T FORGET!
Reading: Our story this week is a fiction story called, Jack and the Wolf. In this story, we will talk about the characters in a story and how they can teach us things. In phonics (letter sounds), we will work on the sounds for short a, double final consonants (-gg, -ll, etc.) and the –ck ending. In grammar we will work on naming and identifying complete sentences. Please keep track of your child’s reading on the reading log. We will do this all year, so keep looking for book bags to come home! 
Daily 5 & CAFE: As a part of our reading block, we will also continue to work on Daily 5. We built up to 20 minutes of read to self last week. This week we will keep building our Work on Writing stamina, and we’ll launch read to someone. Our strategies this week will include: understanding characters.
Spelling: Spelling tests will be on Fridays. The test will have words from the Journeys story.
Journeys Spelling: an, bad, can, had, cat, ran, add, pass, staff, quack
Math: In math this week, we will continue chapter 3 in GoMath! We will revisit addition and talk about various addition strategies. We will be talking about doubles, doubles plus one, and counting on to add.
