Reader's Workshop
This week first graders began an exciting nonfiction unit! We are learning how to get the most out of our nonfiction books by studying and reading each page, and thinking about new things we learned after reading!
We spent a lot of time talking about our books this week both as a class, and with our reading partner. It is so important to share our thinking with others as we learn!
Math Workshop
We continued our focus on unknown partners this week. We practiced solving the unknown partner in equations and number stories. We are also learning that addition and subtraction are related, and both can help us solve for the unknown!
On Friday we learned a fun new game to help us practice our basic addition facts- Power Towers! First graders solve the fact on the cup, and if they solve correctly they add it to the tower!
Word Work
We added 5 new words to our word wall:
Their
Then
Them
Don't
Out
Science
We have been busy studying clouds over the past two week. We learned about three types of clouds: cirrus, stratus, and cumulus. Ask your first grader to tell you about these three types of clouds!
Tuesday is our Fall Performance! There are two performances- 10:00AM and 2:00PM.
Wednesday is an Early Release Day.
Winter weather is here! Our recess is 40 minutes each day, and children do go outside most days. I strongly reccomend sending our child with thick, water proof gloves...their little hands tend to get cold very fast! Also, please label all your children's winter clothes to avoid searching through our lost and found! Most teachers will check inside lost items for names before placing them in the lost and found!
