Happy Monday!!!
Last week in first grade...
- We worked on our non-fiction slide shows. We are working with our partners to type all our great information.
- We learned more about conjunctions and complex sentences
- We read books about the different categories of animals and answered and asked questions about each group.
- Wrote complex declarative, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory 5 star sentences.
This week...
- Our spelling pattern will be ime words.
- We will continue to work on our slide shows. We will be finishing our typing and adding pictures. We will be presenting these to our families in the next couple of weeks so be sure to check back for the time and date.
- We will begin learning about the job of the president. We will learn all about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
- First Graders will continue to write valentines to our classmates. Look for these wonderful bucket fillers in their binders.
Reminder
We will not be celebrating Valentines this year, due to the fact that it falls on a weekend. Students will not be allowed to pass out Valentines.
Next Monday is Presidents day! We will not have school! Enjoy your long weekend!!
News from Mrs. Garcia
1st Grade Blog - Week 24
First Graders are continuing to work on decomposing and composing numbers to make a group of 10 and a group of 20! This has been a challenging concept for many of the students to “get.” We continue to practice these concepts and this week the students will work in pairs to create the steps to solve problems and then will present their equation to the class and explain the 4 steps that they need to take in order to compose a 10 or 20!
The kids continue to work on fact fluency through work with “high number” activities. Students work on their “high number” for 10 minutes daily. In this 3rd quarter, first graders are being assessed weekly. It’s exciting to watch the first graders build fact fluency!! They are becoming very competitive, and are aware of their high number.
Friday, February 12th is President Lincoln’s Birthday and Monday, February 15th is President Washington’s Birthday. I wonder if we could figure out how old each President would be…?
