This week in First Grade, we are celebrating our 100th day of school! Today we will do some fun 100s day activities such as: writing what we think we will be doing when we turn 100 years old, writing about spending $100.00, coloring a search and find, and thinking of 100 things we've learned in First grade so far!
In reading this week, we have moved on to Non-Fiction books. This week we will read Kangaroo Joey Grows Up. We will write what we think we know and what we wonder about Kangaroo babies and then discuss what surprised us about Kangaroos. Today we learned that readers try to remember what they've read. We will continue to learn non-fiction text features: bold words, captions, real photos, index and table of contents.
In math today we are wrapping up Unit 5. The assessment is today. We will begin Unit 6 on Fact Power tomorrow. We will be learning more strategies to learn addition and subtraction facts. A family letter will come home soon, expect a homelink on Thursday night.
In writing, we are starting a new unit called Authors as Mentors. In this unit we will examine Angela Johnson, Ezra Jack Keats, Donald Crews and Joanne Ryder to see what techniques they use in their writing. We will try out some of their techniques in our own writing.
In social studies, we are learning about goods and services. We will review wants and needs and begin learning about opportunity costs.
Tomorrow is the school Talent Show. The assembly for first grade is in the morning at 9:15. I can't wait to see all the talented students at Wixom perform!
Enjoy some pictures from our Valentines Day Party below!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Scheck
