Fun in First Grade!
**Reminder tomorrow is a Holiday! We do not have school!
Last week in first grade, we completed our non-fiction books on penguins. We read many stories and watched a few informational videos about penguins. Together we completed a Tree map and used the tree map to to add pages to our books. We learned about what penguins look like, eat and live. We also added a page with cool facts. We shared these book with Mrs. Garcia's second grade class and Mrs. Loop's first grade class. Mrs. Loops kids shared their non fiction books about polar bears with us. Ask your child to tell you some interesting facts about penguins and polar bears.
We are learning all about Adjectives. We have used adjectives to describe penguins and other fun things. We used adjective to make our sentences more exciting. The second grade students taught us how to play Apples to Apples (a fun adjective game) that we have been playing during daily 5.
This week first graders will...
- Begin a research project on an animal with a partner. They will be using the steps we used as a class to complete their on research with a partner. Students will be making a book and also creating a power point presentation that will be shared with our class.
- We will continue to work on adjectives and how these colorful words will make our writing more interesting.
