October 26-29

Thank you to everyone who came for conferences.  It was great talking with everyone and sharing the many successes of your wonderful children.  

Last week in first grade:
  • We continued working on fact and opinion. We read fiction and non-fiction books about bats. We wrote a few facts and completed a bat craft.  We also wrote an opinion piece on what Mrs. Rowlett should be for Halloween. We have some very creative students in our class. Their ideas were great! 
  • Using the bat books we created story maps with all the details of each book.  Ask your child to tell you the plot (main events) of the stories they are reading to you.
  • We made Frankenpudding and used our senses to describe the pudding. We will write our opinions of the Frankenpudding.
This week we will be looking at the different types of sentences (interrogative, imperative, exclamatory, and declarative).  We will continue working on story maps with books.  We will also be looking at the text features of non-fiction text.
