Units For This Month

Math – We are learning subtraction facts to 20! Students will explore different strategies—such as using ten frames, counting on, making a ten, and using number lines—to build fluency and solve subtraction equations with confidence

Science –This month, our young scientists are learning how to describe and predict the patterns of the four seasons! Students will explore the order in which spring, summer, fall, and winter occur, while observing the amazing changes that happen in nature throughout the year.

Social Studies –Our first graders are learning about what makes our families and communities special! Students will describe and explain the importance of shared beliefs, languages, and traditions. Together, we’ll explore how these unique cultural connections help us understand ourselves, celebrate our differences, and build a strong, caring community.

Reading –In Unit 4, our first graders are exploring the fascinating world of astronomy and space exploration. Students will read about outer space and our solar system. As we journey through informational texts, students will expand their vocabulary, and practice identifying key details.
