A Busy February

Well...I can't believe February is gone! Being sick for the first week really threw me off.  The kids have been hard at work.  Here are a few things we  have been working on this month:


  • Animal Research
  • Reviewing how to write a paragraph
  • Compound words
  • Synonyms/Antonyms
  • Partner reading/reading response sheets
  • Rabbit and Reptile Words (multi-syllable words)
  • Words with -oi, -oy, -ar

In 1st grade math we have been working on:
  • Counting money (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters).  It got a little harder to count when we threw those quarters in the mix.
  • Telling time to the hour and half hour
  • Measuring to the nearest inch and centimeter
  • Name Collection boxes (finding multiple ways to name a number)
  • Counting on a number grid
  • Comparing Numbers (greater than, less than, equal to)
I'm sure I am missing something!  We are hard workers everyday.  Stay tuned for a few pictures to show our learning in action!
