We are continuing to learn about animals. Last week we learned about animal features. The kids then had to decide on a special feature that they would like to have in order to survive in a difficult place such as a volcano, under the sea, or in unicorn land. They drew great diagrams of their special features. We had fire extinguisher fingers, feet that could grip clouds, and lots more! This week we will learn how animals help each other. We are learning to write non-fiction. Last week, each child chose an animal, decided on key features of the animal, and then wrote a topic sentence, key details, and a closing sentence. This is difficult for first graders, but they will continue to practice and it will become an acquired and applied skill. We will have a Valentine's Party. I will send the Sign Up Genius link and a listing of students to you. Please remember to have your child return the Snow Day 2 Blizzard Bag materials tomorrow, so that your child receives credit for participating. Also, please have them return their homework book. Enjoy your day! Comments are closed.
