Readers' and Writers' Workshop
What a fun and busy week we had! The first and second graders are learning to research topics of their choice. They are learning to work in small groups, share resources and organize the information they learn. We used many different nonfiction books to read and gather information from the pictures. In writing, we are using our writer's checklist to assess our writing. Students are setting goals to improve their writing and are noticing what skills they are doing well!
Math
The first graders are working on developing strategies to add and subtract numbers up to 20. We made a class book of the subtraction strategies that can help us while we are solving different number stories. We met Mollie and Ollie twin penguins who love to fish, and applied our strategies to different problems the twins had. We are also working on explaining what the equal symbol means. We began playing a game called "Equalizer", where students used their knowledge about parts and wholes, and how to use the equal symbol to compare two quantities.
Science
In science, we worked on drawing and labeling external animal and plant parts. Students observed mealworms, crickets, birds and squirrels. We also worked on observing native plants and their parts. Students noticed how some plants have defenses to help them survive. Students also observed how plants of the same kind can look different. We observed different coniferous trees, daffodils, geraniums, and pansies. Students continue to work on explaining our driving questions- "How do plants and animals all live together?"
