We are beginning our 3rd week of school. I have really enjoyed getting to know your fabulous kids!! Here are some of the things we are working on.
Math/Calendar Work:
-writing the date (day of week, month, day, year)
-working with amounts under $1.00(different ways to make an amount)
-telling time (to the nearest hour/half hour/5 minute)
-describing numbers using different forms (standard, base ten blocks, written, expanded form)
Reading:
-dictionary skills
-spelling
-listening center
-reading groups
Writing:
Our first writing unit is personal narrative. All stories we write will be from our lives. Writers will learn how to write a personal story that is important to them; focus on the important parts of the event; add details to bring stories alive.
Science:
-Ms Alex is working with the class on soil and plant growth
-Ms Lanning is working on health and nutrition
Social Studies:
We are learning about our classroom community-how we are alike and how we are different; have a classroom job; talk about strategies of relating and working with others and resolving conflict- through class meetings.
