Ms. Dustin's 1st Grade! Dear 1st Grade Families, Happy New Year!!!!! To start off the 2012 school year, we will be discussing our New Year Resolutions. We will also review the months of the year as well as the order. We will review our addition and subtraction facts as well as fact families. We are now beginning our Telling Time Unit. Please encourage your child to wear an analog watch and practice at home. We are currently working on telling time by the hour, half-hour and 5 minutes. We will also discuss weight and tools we use to measure weather. We will also be using our science text to learn about motion, force and gravity as well as different types of weather. In Language Arts, we will continue working on our sight word poems and learn new sight words. In addition, we will continue learning new word families that create long vowel sounds such as 'ow'. We will also go over and review dates that include days of the week, months and reading a calendar. I will be sending home a winter Scholastic Book Form. Please return this by January 30th.
