Week of March 20

I hope everyone had a wonderful March Break! Monday is the first day of spring and hopefully some warmer weather is headed our way.



Curriculum Notes

In literacy, we will begin descriptive writing. Students have already been introduced to adjectives. We will work on using our five senses to describe things.

Our word wall words for this week are:
     part
     way
     which
     car
     call

In math we have started a unit on measurement. We are looking at linear measurement this week using non-standard units, such as paper clips, popsicle sticks and unifix cubes, to measure things.

In religion, we are focusing on Lent and preparing for Easter. We have talked about praying, doing good deeds and giving up something (like some TV or computer time) during Lent to help us be the best person we can be.

In science, we have looked at various materials and some of their properties. We will look at different objects this week and discuss what they are made of and how they are made to serve their purpose.

On Friday, March 24, the grade 1s will be visiting the Eco-Fair in the gym.
