This week in First Grade we are learning about money, making text to text connections in books and learning about man made versus nature made things in our environment.
In reading we have read Chrysanthemum and the book The Name Jar. We learned how to make text to text connections. We have discussed how the stories both have characters that were teased. We learned that readers can make connections from one story to another story.
In writing we have begun a new unit called Small Moments. In this unit writers are taking one small moment and zooming in on just that moment to write about. We read the book Salt Hands and saw how the author stayed focused on one moment. We have practiced making ourselves the star in our writing and setting the scene for the story.
In math we have worked on the penny and the nickel the last two days. Today we will play the penny nickel exchange game. Practice counting coins at home and expect a homelink tomorrow, Thursday.
In social studies we went outside to explore the natural environment. We sorted items into man made and nature made. We will begin a mapping unit later this week.
We are looking forward to our field trip on Monday, October 27th!
Have a great week,
Mrs. Scheck
