Happy Week 11 & 12!!!Time is flying by I can't believe we only have 1 more week until fall break and Thanksgiving.
Last week the first graders presented their posters to the 2nd and 6th graders. They did an amazing job working on these projects. I will post pictures of the groups and their amazing posters later this week.
Last week we also had a few visitors to our classroom...
- Molly Dahl taught us about mindful breathing and how it helps up learn.
- Mrs. Craig taught us all about the job of a Emergency Room nurse.
- Mr. McCormick came with his flight gear. He told us what it is like to be in the military.
- Mr. & Mrs. Heath visited us and told us all about being a doctor.
Thank you to all these wonderful community helpers for taking time out of their busy schedules and visit with us. WE APPRECIATE all our community helpers!!
This week in first grade we will begin an new project. We will learn all about where we live on the map and who is in charge. We will also learn all about nouns and continue to identify the problem and solution of the story!!
Homework
We will not be doing formal reading groups this week so your child will not be bringing home a book to read. They are more than welcome to borrow books from my library if they would like. Please choose a book to read for their night reading. Since Thursday begins our break we will only have reading homework Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Reading over Break
If your child chooses to read over Fall Break please make sure to log their reading. If they read for 20 minutes 5 of the days of break they will get a reward when they return to school. This is totally optional.
Math News from Miss Garcia
This week in first grade the students used Number Bonds to create fact families. A picture of our fact families was posted on the Oasis Facebook page, check them out! They also reviewed methods of subtraction and completed several mini assessments throughout the week.
Mrs. Bloomfield and myself continue to have the students write answer statements when they are problem solving. Answer statements fit in perfectly with “Format Matters” which we use when answering a question.
This week we will work on the correlation between addition and subtraction, using a number line and a hundred chart to count on or back and focus on subtraction equations.
