February

Welcome to February! In Phonics, we are working on long vowel sounds and spellings, like "ai" in "train", and "ee" in "jeep". In Writing, we are working on descriptive writing. We are focusing on how to describe people. We have learned how to describe people on the outside and on the inside! In Math, we are working on ordering numbers. We are also learning how to tell time to the hour and half hour. This can be tricky, so please practice this skill at home. Coming up in math, we will start learning how to count money. Practicing counting out coin combinations is vital, so this would also be a great skill to practice with your first grader. In Integrated Studies, we are learning about nutrition. We enjoyed a presentation by the University of Nebraska on nutrition and hand washing! What fun!
