It was a shortened week here in first grade, which still saw us get to a lot of material. The year-end assessments are in full swing and I have been amazed at the progress these kids have shown in the last 9 months! It has been such a privilege to come to work every day and spend my time with such fabulous people. You all have done such wonderful jobs with your kids and I thank you for all your hard work.
On Friday, June 5th, Bryant will be holding our annual Field Day. Please dress your child in clothing that could possibly get wet or grass stained. If your child risks getting sunburned, remember the sunblock. Sunblock needs to be applied at home before school. Please send your child to school on June 5th with a water bottle with your child's name on it, or with a refillable sports bottle with their name on it. It can get really hot out there.
Let us see what else we were up to this week on to the highlights!!!
Math:
In math this week we took more time to examine two digit number stories. The kids are really starting to grasp this topic and I have been thrilled at their progress. We also took some time to do a bit of exploration with the calculators. This included constructed and writing several math problem. The kids really enjoyed it. We also touched more on time, fractions and shapes. We also took some time later in the week for some review and catch-up.
Writing:
All About books has been the focus in writing this week with a bit of time spent on sentence conventions. The All About books are focusing on our class research project involving Orca whales. The sentence conventions have also been a real push as well.
Science:
We caught up with our weather data collection this week, which was terrific. We also took time to examine the body of the Orca whale and how that form helps it thrive in its natural habitat.
Social Studies:
We finished up our unit on neighborhoods this week in social studies. This included the class working in small groups to create good neighbor puzzles. The kids even got to write down how they can be good neighbors in their social studies journals.
This was a quick snapshot of the mischief we got into this week in first grade. Only two fabulous, fun-filled weeks left until this first grade adventure sadly comes to a close. Until next week….all told.
