Phonics: We continue Unit 9 in Phonics. Unit 9 introduces the closed syllable rule. Closed syllables are words that have one vowel and must be closed in by consonants. We continue to review our r controlled vowels: ar, or, er, ir, and ur. Our trick words that we will learn about this week are see, between and each. We will also learn about vowels teams this week: ee and ea.
Reading: We will be reviewing our Fab 4! Fab 4 is Predicting, Clarifying, Questioning and Summarizing. We summarized with Winter's Gift this week. We summarized using the following words: Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then. We will continue with Comparing and Contrasting Wake Up Groundhog and Go To Sleep Groundhog. When we compare and contrast, we do this with books that have similarities and differences. We will end the week with Sequencing There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Rose!
Math: We review subtraction facts this week. We will learn about the new concepts of subtracting 2, tallying, counting by 5s and drawing pictures to solve problems. We will have some fun Valentine's math stations throughout the week. Be sure to look for pictures!
Writing: We have transitioned from storytelling to writing books on our expertise. This week we will be reviewing how to partner read and revise our pieces. We will review other exemplar pieces of First Grade Students so that we can gain more knowledge on what our pieces should look like. My goal is to have the students publish their final pieces by typing them in Computer class with Mrs. Allee!!
Social Studies/Science: We began graphing the weather this week and making predictions about weather. We will do this for 6 weeks to see if the groundhog was correct about 6 more weeks of Winter.

Reading Challenge
I am challenging all of my students to read nightly. The challenge is to read and take a picture of them reading in their favorite place! They can bring the picture to school or you can email me the picture. I will create a weekly collage of the students reading on my bulletin board. I will take a picture of the bulletin board and post this on my blog weekly! Please let me know if you need any help, books or anything! Thank you!!
