February is a busy month of showing what we know and starting some new concepts and expectations too.
This past week we learned about the concept of an hour. It was very tricky for the students to understand things that take "about an hour" to complete. We also learned about Needs and Wants. We will add to this study next week by learning about Goods and Services and Producers and Consumers. We are learning to compare and contrast stories too. We read many versions of The Little Red Hen. We then compared the stories using venn diagrams to decide what is similar and what is different. Next week will be a BIG week in first grade. We will continue with our math assessment, and we will be taking our benchmark reading assessment too. There will be NO new spelling words this week. Jump Rope for Heart and Valentine's Day will be on Thursday. We enjoyed a Design Day on Friday, and we have some very creative mailboxes. On Friday, we will visit the Historical Society. I am missing quite a few permission slips. Please return these by Monday. If you have misplaced the slip, please write and sign a note stating the following: I give (child's name) permission to walk to the Historical Society on Friday, February 15th. Additionally, we will be studying Light and Sound. We will be making observations and designing an instrument. If you have any toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls, we could use these. Please send in any that you may have by Wednesday. Looking forward to a fabulous week! Comments are closed.
