Letter home..
Here is the letter that came home before spring break in case it is missing. It had writing paper attached to it for the writing assignment.
Please keep the math workbook together!
Go Math...Math Work At Home...Chapter 11...March 23 - April 3...
We are going to tackle Chapter 11 while everyone is at home. This chapter should take slightly over 10 days to complete so that is enough lessons for the weeks of March 23-27 and March 30-April 3.
We start out with a page about what do you know, then the next day do the first the math lesson. It is 2 pages, but the back and front of each page, so it will add up to 4 pages of work. See above. On the next day, do the math practice and homework page, which is one page, front and back. Continue to alternate back and forth each day. One day do the lesson, next day do the homework. There are 5 lessons in this chapter.
When you finish with the lesson and homework for 11.5, you can complete the Chapter 11 Review/Test which is pages 663 through 666. See above.
Each chapter always includes some work to emphasize and practice concepts. See above. There is a vocabulary reader, write about the story, figure it out, show what you know, vocabulary builder, shape match bingo, chapter 11 vocabulary, going on a train trip game and the write way activity. You may work these on days when you have more time to complete work. Perhaps on days when you do the homework rather than the lesson or on a rainy day.
Shhhh....parents-these are totally optional, so it is up to you. Thank you!
Mom or dad can take a peek at our chapter letter. There are some examples of shapes and videos to support your work below.
This chapter is all about three dimensional shapes. We will start it later in the week. Check out our I Can statements. I Can:
- Identify and describe three-dimensional shapes according to defining attributes.
- Compose a new shape by combining three-dimensional shapes.
- Use composite three-dimensional shapes to build new shapes.
- Identify three-dimensional shapes used to build a composite shape using the strategy "act it out".
- Identify two-dimensional shapes in three-dimensional shapes.
Optional Videos That Support Writing....
Take a peek at some of these videos if you think it might help your first grade writer when he or she starts the writing portion. This is optional. You can refer back to them when you write or edit!
Retelling Fiction and Nonfiction...Work At Home...
One of the best thing that a first grader can do after reading a text is to retell it in his or her own words. If your child is reading at home and you would like him or her to practice retell, this might provide some support on what it will look like. There is one for nonfiction and one for fiction. This is optional.
