First Grade Happenings
March 23, 2016
Reading
Math
We identified words and phrases in The
Lorax that suggested feelings. We also
identified the message in the story.
We then compared the story to the
movie.
We applied addition strategies to develop
fluency within ten.
We added 2-digit numbers to a 2-digit
number ending in zero.
Writing
Science
We wrote an about the Lorax’s message from
the story. We supported our
opinion with details from the story.
We completed our sketches for a new
playground. We evaluated our playgrounds to
make sure there was a variety of natural and
human-made objects at our parks.
We received feedback from peers.
We also wrote our opinion with support to
answer the question– Can kids save the Earth?
Social Studies
We described why and how people protect
the environment.
We described actions people can take to
protect the environment.
Please send in an extra pair of clothes for your child to
keep at school. The Health Room has a very limited
supply of extra clothes on hand.
Spring Break
We wish everyone a safe and relaxing
Spring Break! We look forward to seeing
you again on April 4th.
