FIRST GRADE P.E. PROGRAM
VALENTINES PARTY
The Valentines party will be on Friday, February 12th (1:30-2:20). Please check your child's Tuesday Folder for a list of their classmates' names and have your child make a small valentine for each classmate. You may choose to buy these from stores or have your child make their own valentines. We have almost two weeks, so there should be plenty of time for the kiddos to write their classmates' names on their valentines. The students can start bringing their valentines to school starting the week of Feb 8th.

READING and WRITING
We will continue our guided research unit. This week we will review the research process, pick a topic that we are interested in, think about what we want to know about our topics, look at different resources, and non-fiction texts to find new information, take notes in our own words, and then present our findings in an organized form so others can use our information and learn from our research too.

MATH
This week we will connect addition and subtraction by introducing the fact families, part-part- whole, and missing addend. The parts join together to make a whole (addition). If we know the whole and a part, we can find out the missing part using both addition and subtraction. We will use our knowledge of part-part-whole to solve a variety of math problems.
SCIENCES
We will continue learning about our natural resources such as water, rocks, soil, trees, sun, air and more. We will brainstorm and discuss why it is important to conserve these natural resources, keep them clean and to pollute them. We will start the week by exploring water, its properties, its movement, and uses. Why is it important to conserve fresh water? why is it important not to pollute water? What are the different natural sources of water.
