READING and WRITING
Our first graders did
a fantastic job researching facts and information about chicks. I can tell you that they are all
becoming research experts! This week we will move on to independent research
about animals. On Tuesday, each
student chose an animal book from the three animal groups of birds, fish and
mammals. We have kept the
library books in our classroom and this week students are going to do
independent research about their animal's body parts, habitat, food, movement,
life cycle and any other interesting facts. The students are going to conduct a book research as well as an
on-line research on Pebble-Go.
MATH
This week we will apply our problem solving strategies to solve a variety of math word problem involving time, money, addition and subtraction. In first grade we emphasize on showing the steps in solving the problem. These steps involve reading the problem carefully, underlining important data and information, drawing picture and show any strategy that they have learned such as number line, addition and subtraction strategies to solve the problem. Showing the steps in an organized form allow the students to understand the problem better and be able to think more thoroughly.
SCIENCE
This week in science we are taking our knowledge of animals, their habitats and interdependency of living things and using it to take a closer look at our neighborhood and animals that live in our community. We will start a project that focuses on how deer impact our community.
