Math: Students have added and subtracted numbers within 20 throughout their time using the 1A books. In this opening lesson of chapter 6, students will explore the use of learned addition and subtraction strategies while working to solve story problems. Students will be asked to model addition and subtraction stories, write the corresponding equations, and discuss strategies they used to solve the problems. This lesson will help teachers assess students’ readiness for learning to solve written word problems using the part-whole and comparison models.

Grammer/ Writing: This week First Grade will continue to work on their narration skills by retelling Frog and Toad stories. We will also review sentences, including what makes a complete sentence, and what the subject of a sentence is. 

History& Science:

Literature: This week continues with the characters Frog and Toad. We will be finishing up Frog and Toad Together,  is a heart-warming story of facing fears--real or imagined--alongside a friend, and the courage that companionship builds. We will begin our final story Frog and Toad All Year. We will continue to demonstrate retell strategies. 

Table Manners  is a poem by American author, artist, and humorist Gelett Burgess that teaches children about manners in a humorous way. 1st Grade will be reciting this poem Thursday and Friday this week using: an expressive tone, a natural rhythm and appropriate gestures.
