This week in first grade we have been reading and writing more non-fiction books. We have learned more features of non-fiction such as glossary, index and diagrams. We explored non-fiction texts with these features. We read the book Sharks and the book Raptors.
In writing we have worked on adding "fancy" words. We learned a strategy for writing longer words. First we clap the word, then we stretch out all the parts writing one part at a time. We also have reread our books and decided where we can add or take out parts. We put a table of contents in our books.
In math, we have wrapped up Unit 7. We reviewed time to the hour on a digital and analog clock. We have started unit 8, geometry. A family letter came home this week. We will learn the attributes of polygons, we will begin to learn halves and fourths next week.
Science has been exciting this week. We have learned that mealworms need 4 things to survive. We have learned mealworms start as an egg and when they are born they are in the larva stage. We are waiting for them to change into pupae. We do not know what our mealworms will be as adults and are keeping this a secret until they are full grown adults.
If you have not turned it your child's field trip money it is due on May 2.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Scheck
