First Grade Newsletter - April, 2026
Posted April 28, 2026
Reading
We will be reading books that focus on planting, which will go right along with what we are studying in science. We will also read books about using our imaginations and standing up for ourselves.
Math
In math, we will be starting Unit 7, which focuses on geometry. We will study shapes and fractions as part of this unit. We will also work on telling time to the house and half hour.
Phonics
In UFLI, we will be finishing up with our r-controlled vowels. Then we will turn our attention to the long vowel teams of ai/ay, ee/ea, and oa/ow/oe. Please continue to work on the homework each week to reinforce these concepts.
Writing
We will be finishing up our unit on poetry. Then we will start our informational writing focus of "how-to" writing. Students will also be doing some scientific observations in their science journals.
