What is in the April packet

The packet has 16 math sheets, 16 reading sheets and 8 writing and fun sheets. The math is April in a 1st grade year: flat shapes, solid shapes, putting shapes together, and halves and fourths, with facts within 20, missing numbers, fact families, color by sum, story problems, skip counting and measuring to keep them going.

The reading is oi and oy (coin, boy), ou and ow (house, cow), au and aw (faucet, paw) and the endings -ing and -ed: words to read, spell and build, four short stories, facts about rain, a sentence to build and the month's heart words to map. The writing sheets are fix the sentence, now or past, a rainy day page, a how-to, an egg to decorate, spring animals to label, an Earth Day page and a spot-the-changes picture.

What level it is

The sheets follow the April weeks of our 1st grade plan. The stories use only the spellings taught by then and the heart words of the year so far, so a child can read them without guessing. Facts stay within 20.

How to use it

Every sheet stands on its own, so use them in any order: morning work, a center, a sub folder, homework or a rainy afternoon. A few are cut-and-glue sheets, which need scissors and a glue stick.

For more practice on one skill, see the 1st grade math worksheets, the phonics worksheets, the 1st grade spelling lists and the 1st grade reading passages. Younger children can start with the kindergarten April worksheets.
