FIRST GRADE NEWS 9-20-19

Hi. We’ve had a fun week! We worked on ways we can be good friends. We also worked on ways we can be our best selves...we became superheroes! We loved checking out all the pics from when we were little and hearing stories from long ago. We did a cute project with our pics (without damaging them). They are hanging in the hall. Next week we will continue with friends but add in some Johnny Appleseed.

READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS

We split the class in half and each half practiced reading a different Superhero book. We paired up the next day to teach our new book to our partner. Now we have two new books :). Books started coming home to practice reading at home last Friday. Please make sure books are returned as soon as possible so we can continue reading them in class.
We wrote about our school. We wrote poems about ourselves to add to the pictures we made of us as superheroes flying over a cityscape at dusk. We worked on words through Big Books and phonics papers.

MATH

We continue to work with making ten quickly. We are also practicing recognizing dot quantities. This helps us with finding different ways to make a given number. If we are shown seven dots, some will see four plus three more, where others will see six plus one more. It leads to many great conversations regarding addition.
