SHARED READING: We are finishing up a unit on "Then and Now." We have been talking about how things are different today from back then. The kids were a little shocked to find out a telephone used to be attached to a wall with a cord!!!! In social studies we have been talking about how schools are different from back then and today.
OG/WORD WORK: We are really working on using what we know about sounds and spelling patterns to become better spellers. The patterns are getting trickier! After break we will review ai/ay words.
WRITING: I am so proud of the hard work the kids did on their animal research and habitat project! It was a long process to get to the finished project, but they did it! Thanks to everyone for coming to our habitat presentations last week! After break we will begin a unit on opinion writing.
LEADERSHIP: We are currently working on Habit 6: Synergize. We have watched videos, read books, and done a variety of activities to show how working together is better! We had a great time this week with our buddies from Mrs. Nilo's class practicing Habit 6. The kids formed a circle and they had to get a hula hoop around the circle without letting go of their hands. They worked together to figure it out! They also did an activity called "The Human Pretzel." That was a little trickier to figure out.
MATH: In 1st grade math we are working on counting money, making exchanges, counting change, telling time to the hour and half hour, showing lines of symmetry, place value and more.
We are currently working on a unit on fractions. We will finish up our unit after break.
Check out our pictures from our habitats and leadership time with our buddies!
