Hi! We finished up most of our map unit today in a very exciting way! As we were reading, TREASURE ISLAND, some old maps fell out of the book. We were surprised to see they were maps of the school! We followed them and actually found some treasure!! Ask your child about it! We will continue with maps as we get mail from our FLAT STANLEY project. We actually got some responses already this week :)! We will begin a two week study of American symbols and presidents.
READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS
We worked with a big book called, BOSS FOR THE WEEK. We used it to learn how to infer as we read. We were amazed at what we can figure out by reading stories even if they don’t come right out and tell us. We also worked a great detail on the CH sound.
We rewrote BOSS FOR THE WEEK. We turned it into BOSS FOR A MONTH. I found out very quickly that first graders LOVE to be the boss ;)! They had fun creating rules for the day when they could be boss.
MATH
We finished our first math journal! Chapter five assessments are complete. We will begin unit six next week.
