Readers' Workshop
In reading we are wrapping up our nonfiction unit of study! Students have learned many new skills from this unit, and have loved reading in small groups. We enjoyed choosing new reading spots around the room, and have loved getting cozy with our new pillows! In the coming weeks, I will be conducting the F and P reading assessment with each child. I am very proud of each student and the amazing progress they have made this year!
Fun Bookmarks in Library
Mrs. Wright made fun animal bookmarks during Library class on Monday! Please check your student's home-folder for any overdue notices, and return all library books to school.
Enjoying the Beautiful Weather
First Grade Math
In first grade math, we have loved learning about penguins from around the world! We used google earth to see many different kinds of penguins in their natural habitat. Students read about penguins, and recorded important facts about their height and weight. Then they created life size drawings of their special penguins. We are also solving math equations, and reading some fun math story problems. Students are also brushing up on their addition and subtraction strategies by playing some fun math card and dice games.
Spelling/Fundations
In spelling, we are working on beginning blends with r! Students are working with blends like cr, dr, br, fr which can be a bit tricky! We finished our Trick Word list for the year, and have been reviewing the trickiest words from the year.
