What’s going on in 1st grade…… *LLC Friday February 7th *Reading: We continue to work on Central Message. We have been using mentor texts, partner passages, and independent passages to work on identifying central message. *Writing: We continue to work on opinion writing. We are learning how to state our opinion, give reasons, and restate our opinion as a closing. We are also working on giving examples of our reasons this week. We have been reading books that are trying to persuade or just telling us about their opinion. *Phonics: We have reviewed our suffixes and welded sounds this week. We are also talking about closed and open syllable rules. We are starting magic ‘e’ soon. *Math: We are beginning to talk about ten more/ten less and one more/one less and how we can use our 100 or 120 charts as a strategy. This will lead us into adding multiples of ten. *STEAM: We are using weather data to create a graph. We will use the graph to talk about how the weather may have impacted our garden bed. We are also creating a mural using some art pieces that we did in Art with Mrs. McFerrin. These pieces depict what are beets are supposed to have been doing underground during this planting cycle. We are going to talk about how other factors may have impacted our growth and what our next steps should be. *We will be exchanging valentines in a couple of weeks. Information regarding boxes and our class list will come home next week. We also included it on our homework calendar for February. Comments are closed.
