Grade 1C—Mrs. Briscoe<br />
Room 101<br />
<strong>April</strong> Explorations:<br />
Reading: Continue with making connections <strong>and</strong> asking questions<br />
when reading, independently <strong>and</strong> with an adult. Continue<br />
with daily Home Reading Program<br />
Writing: Continue with procedural writing, <strong>and</strong> begin<br />
persuasive writing. As always we focus on editing <strong>and</strong> adding<br />
detail to our written work<br />
Math: We will continue with addition <strong>and</strong> subtraction<br />
strategies, as well as learn about money<br />
Science: We will continue learning about living things. How<br />
can we care for <strong>and</strong> respect all living things?<br />
Home Practice Activities<br />
Read daily! How do the pictures help you underst<strong>and</strong> what you are<br />
reading? Try sounding out the words, letters <strong>and</strong> sounds that you<br />
know.<br />
Practice asking questions. When reading, have your child wonder<br />
about something they have read<br />
Practice counting money, counting loonies <strong>and</strong> toonies.<br />
What living things do you have in your house? What do they need<br />
to survive?<br />
Practice identifying the similarities <strong>and</strong> differences between the<br />
4 seasons (clothing, weather, leaves, activities).<br />
Important info:<br />
With the weather changing, it is very important that students<br />
have a pair of indoor shoes that are kept at school. They can also<br />
use these shoes for Gym. It is also important that each student<br />
has a change of clothes in case it is needed. Please label these<br />
clothes.<br />
Our room can be very warm (even in the winter months). Please<br />
consider having your child wear a short sleeve shirt <strong>and</strong> bring a<br />
sweater <strong>and</strong>/or long sleeved shirt to wear outside with his/her<br />
outdoor clothes.<br />
Thank you for all your support!——Mrs. Briscoe<br />
