Riverfield Elementary School Welcome to First Grade! Curriculum Night Presented by The First Grade Team Riverfield Elementary School

Welcome to First Grade!

Curriculum In First Grade, we work together as a team to deliver the curriculum to your children consistently across the grade level while working to meet each child’s needs as individual learners. Fairfield Public Schools curriculum is aligned with the Common Core State Standards.

A Typical Day in First Grade Morning Meeting Writing Workshop Reading Workshop Specials Recess/Lunch Handwriting Math Word Work Science/Social Studies/Health Dismissal

Morning Meeting Builds community and teaches skills using the Responsive Classroom model Greeting Activity Share News and Announcements Classroom Expectations Logical Consequences

Shared Reading Teachers and students read aloud from an enlarged text (charts, big books) to provide a framework for literature and language. This helps children with fluency, expression, concepts about print, listening skills, and strategy work Provides a language model and lays the foundation for guided and independent reading

Interactive Read Aloud We read a text aloud to the students discussing significant events, use of language, and other important aspects of reading. Helps to improve listening skills, builds vocabulary, aids reading comprehension, models fluent reading, and encourages a love of reading.

What does the Workshop Model look like in Reading and Writing? Begins with a mini lesson where we introduce the key point, model what it looks like, and guide students’ practice before giving the children an opportunity to apply the skill independently. Children work independently and/or with a partner while we confer with students and/or see groups, with the goal of supporting each student’s development. Workshop ends with children sharing the work they did with the group.

First Grade Units of Study in Reading Workshop Launch Nonfiction Understanding Fiction Through the Characters’ Eyes Poetry Bringing Stories to Life Through Fairy Tales and Folk Tales Reflection

This is where the magic happens! Reading Workshop The goal is to develop the skills a child needs to select, read independently, and think deeply about books. We support each reader’s development of effective reading strategies so that they may process texts at increasing levels of difficulty. Most importantly, the goal is to develop a lifelong love of reading. This is where the magic happens!

Writer’s Workshop Children work on the process of writing. They write drafts, revise, edit, and present published pieces. Children work independently while I confer with individual students and/or see writing groups with the goal of supporting each writer’s development.

First Grade Units of Study in Writing Workshop Small Moments: Writing With Focus, Detail and Dialogue Nonfiction Chapter Books Writing Reviews: Opinion Poetry Writing Fiction-Narrative Reflection

Math The Balanced Mathematics Instructional Model fosters the development of conceptual understanding and skills. It allows for natural differentiation based on where each student is mathematically. This year we are integrating some units of study and resources from Bridges 2nd edition Mathematics into our instruction.

First Grade Units of Study in Math Launch Developing Addition and Subtraction Strategies to 10 Developing Addition and Subtraction Strategies to 20 Geometry Place Value Developing Fluency in Addition and Subtraction Measurement and Time

What Does Math Look Like? There are four components in the workshop: Mini-lesson – sets up the problem the students will work on during Active Problem Solving Active Problem Solving – students are given a focus question, then they work to solve a problem while the teacher confers with students, supporting each child to enter the mathematics at their own level and move them forward Reconvene/Share – students share their findings and reflect on their thinking Number Corner– An additional component to Bridges, is Number Corner. Number Corner is regular practice of skills and concepts which target the mathematical standards across the school year.

Science Science is an Inquiry–based form of learning. Students ask questions, make hypotheses, learn by doing, and record observations. First Grade Science is fun and hands-on. Units of Study include Sunshine and Shadows, Living Things, Life Cycles, and Recycling.

Social Studies The theme for first grade is respect. Respecting your neighborhood Identify different aspects of their neighborhood Understand the difference between needs vs. wants Respecting the people in your neighborhood Recognize similarities and differences between the cultural elements of their neighbors and of their own families Develop important social skills aimed at being helpful and resolving conflict Respecting the environment Learn strategies to promote a healthy environment Basic map skills

Health Wellness Scrubby Bear Healthy Food Choices Family Life Responsive Classroom Defining a family both in and out of the classroom Safety and Accident Prevention Second Step Alcohol and Other Drugs Being Me and Drug Free booklets

Word Work The Word Work program is the units of study developed by the district. It is multi level and developmentally appropriate. Along with finding patterns in words, frequently used words will be memorized. As words are taught and reviewed the children will be expected to carry the word knowledge over into their reading and writing. Spelling words will be provided each week.

Handwriting Handwriting is done throughout the week. Children work on the correct pencil grip, formation of the letters and numbers, as well as how to sit when writing. We use the program called Zaner-Bloser.

LLC/Technology Throughout the year we will be using the LLC for checking out books, research, publishing, and other computer activities.

Homework It’s important to start good homework habits now! Set up a spot at home so your child has a quiet, comfortable place to do their homework. Reading – a book will be sent home to read Monday through Thursday Math – games or practice sheets one to two times per week Word Work- weekly words will be sent home on Monday to practice with an activity Long Term Assignments – given when relevant The district policy for homework is 10 minutes per night in first grade. Please continue to read aloud to your child.
