December 3rd

Thank you to all the families who attended Parent-Teacher Conferences. 15 minutes never seems like enough time to catch up! It always amazes me when I reflect back to the beginning of the year and then think about where we are at now. If you ever want to schedule a time before or after school to discuss your child's progress, don't hesitate to contact me. 

Please take a few minutes to catch up on some friendly reminders and see what's going on in our classroom!

Please remember to dress your child appropriately for the weather! The entire class goes out for recess every day unless the windchill is below 0. It is helpful to label hats, gloves, scarves, etc. We have a large collection already in the lost and found!

MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing will begin next week. Both math and reading assessments will be given during this time frame. We will use MAP results as another data point for planning instruction for your child. 

Ivy Hall's Wildcat WOW Committee is hosting Toys For Tots this year. Toys for Tots is a program that provides new, packaged toys for children who are less fortunate. If you would like to donate, please send in new, unused toys in the original packaging to the office labeled "Toys for Tots" by December 14th. Any toys, books, arts and craft supplies are fine. Please do not send any weapons or food products. Thank you for giving this holiday season!

Ivy Hall's Student Council is hosting a Food Drive. You can help by donating canned or boxed goods beginning Monday, December 5th. Items can be brought into the office. All food items will be donated to the Vernon Area Food Pantry as we head into the winter holiday season. 

Student Council is also hosting an after school field trip to Belmont Village Assisted Living Facility on Thursday, December 15th from 3:30-4:30pm. Students from Ivy Hall will visit Belmont Village to entertain it's residents. Due to limited space only 30 students will be able to attend. If more than 30 students want to participate, names will be drawn. Transportation will be provided both to and from Belmont Village. Students must be picked up from Ivy Hall when the performance is over at 4:30. Permission slips are available in the Virtual Backpack. Please print and return permission slips to school by Wednesday, December 7th. 

Our winter party will be on Friday, December 16th in the afternoon. Thank you to all the parents who are busy planning and organizing! Please remember if you are donating snacks for our holiday party, they must be from the Approved Snack List. Please have any items to school on Friday, December 16th before 10am. We appreciate your generosity :)

                                                                                          Writing

In writing, students are finishing up their narrative stories. Our first grade goals are to have an introduction, at least two sequenced events, details that tell more about what is happening, and a concluding sentence. Students are also working on including transition words to signal change in their stories. Words such as "first," "next," and "last," help move their stories along and sequence what happens throughout their story. Moving forward, students will be introduced to CUPS (capital letters, verb usage, punctuation, and spelling) to edit their writing. 

How can you help your child with writing at home?

The best way to help your child with writing at home is to give them the opportunity to write. Have them help you write a grocery list, write out their wish list for the holidays, or address holiday cards. Another fun thing to do is to have your child keep a journal. Once a week have your child write about something they did. It could be about something small like going to the park or playing with a friend or it could be about something bigger like going to the movies or trip they took. Have your child sequence the events. For example, "We went to the movies. We watched the movie. We went home." Then ask them to tell you what else happened. For example, when you arrived did you order and snacks? Did someone take your ticket? Where did you sit? Did you like the movie? Even starting with one journal entry a week is great practice for your child at home!

                   Word Study

After discussion amongst our team and district, we have decided to discontinue sending home Words Their Way homework. Words Their Way is a program that is designed to work with students in class in order to study the different patterns in words throughout their reading and writing. While sending these sorts home throughout the week gives them additional practice, it is just repetition of an activity they have done in class. 

Please remember, this is NOT a spelling program and our students are not taking spelling tests each week. Therefore, bring the words home to practice is not necessary. We understand that you may still be interested in the words they are working with and may want to work at home with them. Therefore, students will continue to bring their completed sorts home so that you can see what they've practiced and studied. If you would like to continue word study at home here are some great practice ideas you can use after receiving your students completed sort. 

*Look for their word patterns in books you are reading at home 

*make a list of rhyming words for each pattern

*Use a few words to create sentences with their word patterns

*Say a word in their sort and ask them which pattern it belongs to 

*Ask them to explain why each word belongs in the sort

Please let us know if you have any other questions. Sorts can also be found here on the KCSD website. 

                                                                                         Reading

This past week we begun reading an informational book titled Goods and Services. In this text students are working on identifying the main topic and supporting details. We learned that there is a main topic of the entire book but their can also be a main topic of a specific section within the book, too. We are paying close attention to text features such as headings, captions, and photographs that can deepen our understanding of the topic. In this text, students are exposed to a wealth of unfamiliar vocabulary words such as producer, consumer, income, and taxes. We are learning various strategies to helps us determine the meaning of these words to support our comprehension. Next week, students will begin a new informational text titled Supermarket. We will compare ideas between this new text and Goods and Services. We will compare and contrast topics and make connections as well!

                         Math

In math, students have been working on determining weather a number is odd or even. It is explained to students that if a number is even, counters can be perfectly paired up. If there is a leftover, we call that odd. Students should be able to look at any given number and determine if it's even or odd.                                                                                                                                         This week students have also begun telling and writing time to the hour. We have looked at analog and digital clocks and determined that time can be written in numbers (8:00), in words (eight o'clock), or in number and words (8 o'clock). Students have been exposed to all ways and will begin looking closer at time to the half hour and elapsed time in the next few weeks.

Students have become very successful at using hands on strategies to add and subtract. i.e. using their fingers, drawing a picture, using counters or a number line. Our next step is building mental strategies that will help us find our answer more quickly, or fluently. Counting on from the bigger number is the first step in becoming fluent in addition facts. Knowing +0 and +1 facts are quick and easy ways to find an answer as well. We also encourage students to memorize their doubles facts (2+2, 5+5, 8+8, etc.). Once they have memorized doubles then they can look at double +1 facts such as 5+6. If we know 5+5=10 then we can quickly find the answer to 5+6 by adding 1 more. 

Students have begun timed tests this week. Our goal is to take 2 timed tests per week. Students will start with +0 facts and move down the number line to +1, +2, +3 facts, etc. They will have 2 minutes to answer 30 addition facts (within 10). Once they fluently answer the facts with 90% or higher accuracy, they will be given the next test. Please work on building fluency strategies at home. Flash cards are a great tool! Having a solid foundation of number sense and understanding the relationship between numbers is essential as your child builds and develops their math skills!

Social Studies

In Social Studies we have been discussing the differences between wants and needs. We will discuss how clothing, food, and toy drives help those in need. We are also excited to begin learning about famous Americans! Some of the Americans include George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We will be using different texts to learn facts about their lives. 

                                          Science

We have begun our uint on light and sound. Students had a lot of fun using flashlights this week to investigate how light travels. we learned that light can travel through some materials and not others. We looked at how light moves in a straight line and how it's path can be changed using a mirror. Next week we will begin investigating shadows!

Congrats to the Chicago Cubs on their World Series Championship! There has been a lot of buzz around Ivy Hall regarding their win :) Please take a few minutes to read some updates on what's going on in First Grade...

Thank you!

Thank you to all the volunteers who donated and spent time in our classroom on Halloween to make our party a huge success. The kids had a blast!

Follow Us on Twitter!

Our class is on Twitter! Please follow our Twitter handle @MissSchuttKCSD to get a closer look into our classroom. I will be posting pictures of day to day classroom activities.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Please don't forget to schedule your parent-teacher conference. I am looking forward to discussing your child's progress and sharing ways you can help your child at home. If you can not attend conferences on the dates provided, please contact me and we can set up another time to meet.

Papa John's Fundraiser

Our PTO has partnered with Papa John's Buffalo Grove for a month long fundraiser. Every Wednesday in November, mention Ivy Hall when you order pizza and you can earn money for our school! It's as easy and tasty as that! A flyer is available in the Virtual Backpack with more details. 

                                              Writing

We will continue to work on informative/explanatory writing through the end of the trimester. This past week we connected our writing to our science unit and read about living and non-living things. We used the TAK model to analyze the prompt and brainstormed all we learned about living things. From there we organized our writing into a t-chart and looked back into the text for additional information that could support our big ideas. The kids are really starting to understand the WriteTools writing process and are becoming excellent writers!

                                         Word Study

Thank you for continuing to work on your child's word sorts each week. Don't forget to have your child say the word/picture, lay it down, and explain why it belongs in that category. Many children are able to sort and identify spelling patterns in isolation, however, our goal is that they are able to transfer those spelling patterns into their writing. If they are able to explain their thought process, it will help them internalize the spelling pattern quicker. 

                                             Reading

We have finished Unit 2 in our ReadyGen curriculum. In this unit we've read literary and information texts together. While reading literary texts we've focused our attention on the following targets; using key details from the story to ask and answer questions, being able to retell the story, understand the central message or lesson, and also being able to describe the characters, settings and major events. While reading informational texts, we've set goals to be able to use key details to ask and answer questions, identify the main topic, retell key details, and describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas or pieces of information. In both types of texts we've been working on determining or clarifying the meaning of unknown words and multiple meaning words and phrases. Please continue to work on mastering these skills at home with your child. You can do this while reading texts at their level, or complex texts that you may be reading to them. 

Don't forget that October reading calendars were due last week. Every child should be reading for 15-20 minutes a night at home. The best way for your child to become a better reader is to read! This can include independent reading or listening to reading as well. 

                               Math

We are continuing to build our understanding of word problems in math. Students have been exposed to a variety of word problems including addition, subtraction, and comparing situations. When reading and solving word problems students should first analyze the problem and identify what kind of problem it is and what kind of math strategy would help them solve it. They should also be able to draw a picture and write a number sentence to match. At the end of next week students will be given their Unit 2 math test. The test will cover adding and subtracting within 20 using various strategies, adding and subtracting within 20 to solve word problems, and fluently being able to add and subtract within 20. 

Social Studies

We are wrapping up our Social Studies unit. Students should be able to identify the current president of the United States and name at least three US symbols. We have also discussed the many jobs of the president. 

                                        

                                            Science

We are wrapping up our life science unit as well! This past week we discussed how parents take care of their young to help them survive. We watched short videos of parents and their offspring and then determined if they were protecting them from danger, feeding them, cleansing them, or teaching them important survival skills. Students also created their own scenarios of an animal parent and it's offspring!

Go Cubs Go! 

Today we are celebrating the Cubs first World Series game since 1945! Such an exciting time for our city and Chicago sports :) Please take a minute to read a few important updates and take a look at what's going on in our classroom.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Thank you to everyone who has signed up or contacted me regarding parent teacher conferences. If you have not signed up yet, please visit our classroom SignUp Genius Account to schedule your time. am looking forward to meeting with you to discuss your child's progress thus far. Please remember that each conference is scheduled for just 15 minutes and many conferences are back-to-back. At the end of 15 minutes if we feel we have more to discuss we can schedule another time to meet. We appreciate your help and understanding in making sure we have enough time to meet with each family.

Halloween Information

Please see my previous blog posts regarding Halloween Information. Also, please be sure to read the Principal's Message for school guidelines around appropriate costume attire for our Halloween festivities. If you are unsure about whether or not something in your child's costume is appropriate, please contact me. Also included in Mrs. Gluck's blog are the guidelines around students going home for lunch on Halloween. If you plan on picking your child up for a costume change, please be sure to review the procedures. Thank you.

**Please note that due to recent events with clowns, clown costumes will not be allowed at school. We appreciate your cooperation in making the Halloween fun and safe for everyone!

Dressing for the Weather

With fall comes chilly temperatures! Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. Students will be going outside each day. As the temperatures get colder, you may also want to send hats, gloves, and other items to stay warm. It's helpful to have everything labeled as things fall out of pockets and backpacks easily!

Writing

This past we we wrapped up our opinion writing unit and have moved onto informational writing. We independently listened to a story on PebbleGo about the Statue of Liberty and read a short non-fiction text together. We were given a writing prompt and analyzed it with the TAK model and brainstormed important information. We came up with our topic and conclusion by using the Core 4 sentence types and will continue to plan by organizing our writing with a T-chart this week. We will also be looking at our writing for conventional pieces such as uppercase letters at the beginning of our sentences, finger spaces, and end marks at the end. 

Word Study

Please remember to have your child sort their word sort each night. It is important that they say the word first and then lay it in the correct group and explain why it belongs there to really internalize the spelling patten. As mentioned in my previous blog post, I will not be collecting any word study homework until the beginning of the following week. Some families choose to use the weekend to complete homework and this helps me stay organized. Also, please remember to have your child put their names on the blue paper! Many children have turned in their word study homework without names on it and there's no way to identify who it belongs to. 

                                   Reading

We recently began a new text titled Going to School. This is a non-fiction informational text about how children around the world go to school. We will focus on identifying important text features that deepen our understanding such as labels, captions, and photographs. We will also identify the main topic and supporting details while asking and answering questions. Students are encouraged to go back into the book to answer questions. Answering questions may include making inferences as well - using the text and background knowledge to make an informed conclusion. During the next few weeks we will continue to differentiate between fiction literary texts and non-fiction informational texts. 

**Don't forget to be reading at home each night! It is expected that each first grader reads for 15 minutes a night. It may be independently, with a sibling, with a parent, or even on RAZ-kids. October reading calendars will be due next week and the November reading calendar will be sent home. 

                             Math

We have been building our numbers sense with addition and subtraction! We are continuing to work with fact families and number bonds to deepen our understanding of the relationships between numbers. We have also recently revisited word problems. We are looking closely at the situations and looking for key words that help us identify whether to add or subtract when given a situation. We also have been looking at a new type of number story - comparing. When we look at comparing number stories we are being told one part is greater or less than the other, but we need to find out by how many. When solving for these types of problems we can choose to subtract the parts that are the same or think addition and fill in the missing part to reach the greater number. See the example below:

Sam has 4 action figures and Jim has 1 action figure. How many more action figures does Sam have than Jim?

I can choose to subtract:

or I can choose to think addition:

 In either situation, we are comparing the two numbers. We will continue to work with number stories this week and identifying key words to determine what kind of problem solving steps we should take. In the coming weeks we will being working with multi-step word problems.

Social Studies

We have talked more in depth about the roll of our president and the important jobs he has to keep our county safe. We will continue to talk about what kind of character traits leaders should have and how we can be responsible citizens.

Science

This week our science focus was on how animals protect themselves and how engineers use nature to design things that humans use. For example, turtles have a shell to protect themselves. A bicycle helmet was designed to protect our heads with a turtle's shell in mind.

I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend! Please see some updates and friendly reminders below to see what's going on in our classroom!

MAP testing reports were sent home on Friday. Please make sure to check your child's take home folder for their reports. For additional information you can visit the Parent Letter from the district and the MAP Parent Guide. 

Picture retakes will be Thursday, October 17th. If you would like your child to have their school picture retaken, your child will need to return the entire original package to school on or before that date.

Our first Scholastic Book Order was sent home on Friday! Scholastic Book Order is a great resource where you can find a wide selection of quality children's books that are just right for your child's reading level and interests. Many of these books are at a lower cost than you would find in a book store too! If you would like to purchase books for your child, please see the attached note on the flyer for more information.

Halloween is approaching! Please see my previous blog post regarding Halloween
information. If you'd like to pick up your child to help them into their costume, it must be during our lunch time (11:00-11:40). Please send a note to school that you plan to pick up your child.

Our classroom is still looking for a few volunteers for our classroom parties. Please visit this link to sign up. You can visit the PTO Blog for additional volunteer opportunities as well.

Parent/Teacher conferences will be held November 21st and 22nd. This year we will be using an online program called SignUp Genius to push out our conference sign up sheets. You will be receiving an email in the next few weeks which will allow you to pick a time that works best for you. 

                                               Writing
We are continuing to build our foundations in opinion writing! With a new season upon us and the weather changing, we discussed the pros and cons to each season. Each child then chose their favorite season to write an opinion piece about. We began our planning by analyzing the prompt using the TAK model and then brainstormed using a circle map. We took our ideas and organized them into a T-Chart. Students were introduced to a color coding system to help them keep their ideas organized. This planning process helps ensure that students are staying organized with their thoughts. In the coming weeks we will look closely at our paragraphs and analyze our writing for interesting words, word choice and number or words in each sentence. 

Word Study

We have been working hard with in our word study groups! I sent an email last week regarding Words Their Way homework. While sorting, it's important to have your child say the word or picture first and then lay it in the correct group and explain why it belongs in that group. Please remember to only send the blue homework sheet back at the beginning of the week. With a shortened week this week, we will not be getting new sorts. 

                                                                                      Reading
We were introduced to a new shared text this week called The Recess Queen. This is a fictional story about a girl named Mean Jean who bullies other kids on the playground. A new kid comes to school and challenges Mean Jean who then realizes that bullying kids is not the right thing to do. As a class we've been analyzing the characters and the choices they make and the lessons they've learned to help us understand the central message of the story. In the next few weeks we will transition back to non-fiction text and work on identifying the main topic and supporting details. 

Math

We have been working on several strategies that help us build fact fluency. Fact fluency is being able to answer a math fact quickly. Counting on from the bigger number is one strategy that helps us build fluency. Here are some other strategies that help us build fact fluency:

• +0 Facts: Anytime you add 0 to a number, the number will not change
• +1 Facts: A quick count up strategy
• Doubles: Doubles facts stand out to us. Memorizing these facts helps us build fluency
• Doubles +1: Once we memorize doubles facts, we can then quickly answer facts like 5+6 by thinking of the double 5+5 and adding 1. 

We are continuing to work with number bonds and were introduced to fact families this past week. A fact family is a collection of addition and subtraction facts made from the same numbers. This will also help us understand the relationship between numbers and build our foundation of number sense. We will use these tools to help us solve word problems with missing parts in the next few weeks. 

Social Studies

We are coming to the end of our symbols study. Students have looked at many different symbols that stand for strength, freedom, and liberty. We also have discussed the president and his role in our country. We will continue discuss our president in the coming weeks.

                               Science

Our hermit crabs have arrived! We were so excited to finally get our class pets! We have been talking about how all living things need food, air and water to survive. Students watched short clips of animals and had to decide what it was that they were taking in to survive. We have also been watching our bean plants grow! Both of these are authentic experiences that help our children understand how living things grow and change.

Can you believe it's almost October?! September flew by! We are pretty adjusted to our classroom routine and schedule at this point. Please take a moment to read below regarding some friendly reminders and what we've been working on in first grade!

Halloween is Approaching! 

We will celebrate at school with a parade and classroom party on October 31st. As you begin planning and preparing costumes at home, please keep a few things in mind. All costumes should be "kid friendly." There should be no masks, no weapons (real or fake), no blood, or scary factor as part of the costume. All costumes must follow the school dress code as well. Please see Mrs. Gluck's Principal Message for more information. Additional information regarding our school celebration will come closer to the date. 

From the PTO

It's Fall Book Fair Time! All classes were able to preview the book fair on Monday and each student made their very own wish list. You may use this as a tool to help decide which books your child is interested in purchasing. You may send money to school with your child (exact cash or check payments only) or you may choose to attend Ivy Hall's Ice Cream Social on Wednesday night from 6:30-8:00 and visit the Book Fair as a family. Check the Virtual Backpack for more information about the Fall Book Fair hours, payment/ordering options, and how to volunteer at this event. 

**Be sure to check the PTO Blog for more information regarding upcoming events and volunteer opportunities.

                                     Writing

We have finished our narrative writing unit and began our opinion unit. Students have continued to practice analyzing writing prompts with the TAK model (topic, audience, keywords), and then brainstorming their ideas with the use of a circle map. Students have also been using a t-chart to organize their ideas. We recently were introduced to the "Core 4" topic and closing sentences. These are different types of sentences we can use for an opening and closing statement. Last week we read the story Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! by Mo Willems and had to decided if we thought the Pigeon should be allowed to stay up late. Students used information from the text as well as their own thoughts to support their opinions. This week we read a story titled Duck! Rabbit! Students will look closely at the picture and decide if the image they see is a duck or a rabbit and use supporting details to explain why they formed that opinion. 

                                                                              Words Their Way

We are excited to finally begin our differentiated word study groups! Each child received a packet explaining the Words Their Way program and our expectations for word study homework. The last 2 pages of the packet were sorting cards and a sorting mat. This is your child's sort for the week. The black and white copy in the packet is yours to keep at home. You can look at the headers on the sorting mat to determine how your child should sort their cards. Some sorts are pictures, some sorts are words, and some sorts include pictures and words - it just depends on the sort. The blue sheet included in the packet explains the different ways you can sort at home each night. Please sign off on the sheet and return just the blue sheet to school on Monday. Feel free to email me with questions as we get this up and running!

                          Reading

We have wrapped up Unit 1 in our ReadyGen reading curriculum. Together, we've read literary and informational texts over the course of this unit. While reading literary texts we worked on our understanding of story elements. Story elements include characters, setting, important events, the main idea and central message. Students have been working on retelling stories while using these elements in their retell. While reading informational texts we focused on identifying the different text features such as the table of contents, headings, and illustrations as well as identifying the main topic and details to support our understanding. Unit 2 will focus on many of these same skills. We began a shared reading text titled A Fine, Fine, School this week. See if your child can retell it to you at home including important story elements!

                                                                                                Math

Number Bond Model

What is fact fluency? Fact fluency is the idea that certain numbers have a relationship, such as 7, 3, and 10. If we understand that those numbers are related, we can easily solve addition or subtraction problems where those numbers are involved. For example: 7+3=10, 3+7=10, 10-7=3, or 10-3=7. Fact fluency also includes being able to compose and decompose numbers quickly. Composing numbers is when we take two numbers and put them together to get a total. Decomposing numbers is when we start with a number and break it down into two parts. For example, I can take 10 and break it down into 7 & 3,  6 & 4 or 8 & 2. Number bonds are a great model that help us understand fact fluency. 

This past week students were solving addition and subtraction word problems. Students were asked to find key words and act out story problems with cubes or other items to determine if they were adding or subtracting. They were asked to draw a picture and write a number sentence that corresponded. This week we will revisit adding and subtracting using various strategies (fingers, number lines, number bonds, counting on, etc) to build our fact fluency. We will also review the equal sign and our understanding of a balanced equation. Please review your child's math CFA's (Common Formative Assessments) to see your child's progress towards these targets. Our Unit 1 math test will be on Friday this week. We will begin Unit 2 next week which will be a continuation of addition and subtraction math skills. 

Social Studies

We have been discussing what patriotic symbols are and what they stand for. Some symbols we have talked about include the American Flag, Bald Eagle, White House, Washington Monument, Liberty Bell, and Statue of Liberty. We will also be talking about our current president, Barak Obama, and his role in our country.

We are continuing to study plants and animals in science. This week our discussion is focused around the parts of a plant including the roots, stem, leaves, and flowers. We each even planted our own lima bean plant! We are very excited to make observations as they grow over the next few weeks. Next week we will also be getting a special delivery - our class is getting hermit crabs to observe and study! Students have not been informed of our unique class pet yet so it will be a special surprise!
