Wow! This school year is just zooming by. I can't believe we only have 2 weeks until winter break. We still have so much learning to get in.
Last week we...
- Learned about Declarative sentences (these are sentences that make a statement).
- Learned all about how sounds are made from vibrations and that the pitch of sounds can be high or low.
- Learned all about possessive nouns. Nouns that show possession and have an apostrophe s.
- started our opinion writings.
- learn about the other 3 types of sentences (interrogative, imperative and exclamatory)
- finish our opinion writings.
- explore how light travels in straight lines and explore the materials light can and can't go through. (transparent, translucent and opaque),
- Along with our science unit on light and sound we will use our sense to complete a writing project.
Reminder boys basketball sign ups are currently open. Check this out if you think you son might enjoy this sport.
We will have a Christmas celebration on December 21, from noon to 1. There will be more on this soon.

Week 14: December 11th - 14th
The first graders took an assessment on graphing. They did a great job as it was a long test. They are having trouble distinguishing between fewer and most. Which goes back to finding the difference between two pieces of data. Also, we have focused on addition and combining groups of however, this concept also crosses over into graphing because the students must combine certain groups to find a sum of how many students collected data. We will re-visit graphing again after the 1st of the year.
The first graders will be working with shapes until Winter Break.
This week the first graders will focus on both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. As a class we will name 2-dimensional shapes, draw and discuss open vs. closed shapes and will count sides and vertices of shapes.
