Good Morning Parents,


Please copy and paste the link below into a new tab to enter in your child's attendance everyday. I need to provide our school office with the information that your child is present and working at home or absent and not working. If you are unable to fill out the form, please email me instead at grade1@stthereseroxbury.org with your child's attendance for each day. We will be starting today with this form. I have used the honor system for Monday and Tuesday of this week. Thank you!

Good Morning First Graders!!

Today is the 125th day of school!! How many ones, tens, and hundreds is that? That's right...in the number 125....it is 5 ones, 2 tens, and 1 hundreds.

Keep working hard everyone!! I am very proud of you!! Here is your work for today:

Reading:
  • In your reading textbook, read the story "The Dot" on pages 48-67
  • Read the story a second time in your head while listening along to the story being read to you. Use the following link.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5mGeR4AQdM
  • Answer questions about the story. You will find these questions in your "The Dot" reading packet. It is 2 pages stapled with 3 sections that are called: High frequency words, Comprehension, and Directions to answer 2 questions using complete sentences.
  • Can you make your own picture titled, "The Dot"? Grab a piece of paper and make your own masterpiece! You can use crayons, colored pencils, paint, watercolors, markers....whatever you would like. I can't wait to see it!
  • Practice book page 77 (pick a word to finish each sentence)

Spelling:
  • do page 79 Long e:ea (you will find this in a separate section from "The Dot")

Writing Journal:
  • Write five questions you would ask a leprechaun if you were lucky enough to meet one. Use the next page in your writing journal to write your questions and draw a picture. Remember to put a question mark at the end of each of your questions!

Math:
  • 25 pennies is equal to 1 quarter. Take out a penny, a nickel, a dime and a quarter. Which coin is the biggest in size? Which coin is the smallest? Which coin do you think is worth the most money? Which coin is worth the least?
  • Keep those coins out and watch the following song on youtube.....you will be asked to show him the money!     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVpcZ5obmsM
  • do pages 357-358
  • Now, you are going to look at just dimes and nickels. Remember when we are counting money, we are skip counting. We are skip counting by 5's with nickels (5, 10, 15, 20, 25) and we are skip counting by 10's with dimes (10, 20, 30, 40, 50). The more you practice, the easier it gets!
  • do pages 359-360


Religion:
  •  Close your eyes and imagine that you are in your favorite place in nature. What do you see? What do you hear? Now, look on the ground. Someone left a pile of trash there! How do you feel about that? How is your favorite place different now? 
  • Watch  Brain Pop Jr. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.  Use the following link: https://jr.brainpop.com/ Go to this link which is Brain Pop Jr. At the top of the page, click on "LogIn". Our class username is:firstgradenovak. The password is: novak1. In the search box, please type reduce, reuse and recycle. You can take the quizzes after you watch the short video.
  • The next Lenten Prayer Chain piece that you will do today is "Do something to help the Earth".  God will be so happy to see you helping him! What will you do? Maybe something that has to do with reduce, reuse, or recycle....or maybe something else.
  • Continue working on St. Patrick's packet, if you haven't already completed it.
Gym:
  • Today we would have had gym. The weather is nice today, maybe run around and play a game in your yard to get some fresh air. 

Extra Things to do throughout the 2 weeks:
