Updates in 1A

Here are some updates in Saldana’s Stars:

So many wonderful things have been going on in our classroom from our ELF’S ARRIVAL to PRACTICING FOR OUR CHRISTMAS CONCERT.

The holiday season has sure kicked off!

In religion we have been learning about Advent and we began to delve into the Nativity Story.  We have been discussing daily that we love gifts from Santa but we can never forget that Jesus is the REASON for the season!

In math we are finishing up chapter 3 where we learned all about subtraction, using addition to check our subtraction facts, fact families and related addition and subtraction facts.

In ELA we have been talking all about different types of sentences such as statements, interrogative, and exclamatory.  We have also been learning all about beginning and ending blends!  The children are really progressing in their reading and I could not be more proud!

I am sure you have seen your child come home with readers in their take home folder that we have been using in class.  It is important to keep those and have your child practice them each week.  The more they read the more fluent they become.  Repetition is key in developing readers.
