Hello and Happy Friday, May Day, and Mother Goose Day! We've had another busy week in first grade. Today we released our guppies and snails into the Great Heron Wetlands. This turned out to be quite the event as a mini-down pour started just as we got there!
We are going to be switching to Social Studies content now, which is focusing on "Peoples of the Nations and World" - comparing and contrasting our own cultures to those of others around the world. I'm very excited about this unit! Should be lots of fun!
The students did a GREAT job with their spelling lists this week! Very impressive! The next list, "wh", will be available soon on Spelling City.
This coming week in math we are going to be reviewing and extending some of the skills we've focused on in Geometry. We'll be working more on some writing activities that require the students to use math vocabulary to describe how they solved certain math problems. The students should do very well - these are GREAT brain-stretching activities :)
The students have finished typing their "How To..." paragraphs this week. Next week, we'll be moving on to taking pictures of each step, and putting them together in PhotoStory! Some of the students have chosen to do their "How to" paragraphs on something that requires some materials from home. If this is the case for your child, please send in these materials with your child so he/she may use them in his/her presentation. Thank you so much!
Have a great weekend!
