Wow how time flies! I can't believe that February is almost over. The first graders have been very busy especially with the short week of school.
Last week
- First graders worked on finishing up the writing part of our slide shows and added pictures to each page.
- We reviewed conjunctions and practiced using them to combine 2 simple sentences.
- The class used pronouns to take the place of nouns.
- First graders wrote about what they would do if they were president and learned facts about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
This week in first grade we will...
- Add animation to our slide shows.
- practice presenting our slide shows with a partner. We will be inviting families in to share these when we are experts. Time and Date will be posted soon.
- use conjunctions to make a book with complex sentences about an animal.
- Continue to properly use pronouns.
- Read first grade poems and stories

Week 26 February 27th - March 2nd
Last week the students practiced telling time to the hour and ½ hour. The class worked with both analog and digital clocks. They are doing a great job telling time to the hour and they realize that every time that the minute hand is on the 12...that it means “o’clock.” We are also working hard on telling time to the half hour by stating it two different ways: for example 3:30 can also be said as “half past 3.” So, this is a more challenging concept for the 1st graders to understand. As a class, we will continue to work on telling time this week and will take a whole group assessment on Thursday.
Digital Clock Analog Clock
After finishing up our unit on telling time, the 1st graders will move onto working with fractions. The students are required to to partition circles and rectangles into halves, fourths and quarters. They will know that fractions are equal parts of a whole.
