Can you believe that we have already been in 1st grade for 5 months! That means there are only 5 months left. We have learned so much but we have many things to cover before the end of the year.

We are working on compounds and contractions in language arts. We will start working with commas in our writing. You'll notice less Saxon phonics coming home as we have covered most of what we need to cover for our skills for the year.

Our math takes us into fractions and time and of course we'll work more with money and addition and subtraction.

You'll begin to notice information coming home at least once a month about your child's progress with our first grade timed addition test (50 problems in 5 minutes)

Our next historical figure that we'll study will be

 Harriet Tubman.

 

 

We will also learn a little about light and shadows.

This should keep us busy for awhile!
