It's been another great week in first grade! We read a few of my favorite books. We read Jump Jabari, which is a book about a boy who is trying to overcome his fears of jumping off a high dive. We reread Not Yet, and made power bracelets. We ended the week with The Big Orange Splot, a story about being yourself and expressing who you are. The children made their own houses to express who they are as an individual. These stories really tied into our writing about our hopes and dreams. We each wrote an academic goal. Next week we will work on a social goal. We will then display them in the classroom.
Math
We have been exploring the math concept of "How do mathematicians count things?" We have been working on showing on representation on paper in an organized way. The push this week was to represent in groups of tens.
Garbage, Recycling, Compost
Jaycie Putilitz came into our classroom to teach us ways that we can take care of our earth. She taught us about what items go into the garage verses the recycling bin. After she finished teaching us she went into our garage bins and recycling bin to fix our mistakes. I believe we passed the test. Now we are experts!
Picture Day was a success!
We filled out heart jar for the second time. We celebrated with some good old arts and crafts and building legos.
