First Grade Happenings
March11, 2016
Reading
Math
We identified the main topic and retold key
details when viewing a movie about Yellowstone,
and again when reading an article– Yellowstone: A
Supervolcano. We also identified similarities and
differences between the two texts.
We used strategies to add and subtract within
20. We also identified and record related addition and subtraction equations.
For example– Using the numbers 2, 3, 5
2+3=5
5-2=3
3+2=5
5-3=2
Writing
Science
We continued to write down new facts learned
about Yellowstone.
We identified various building objects on the
playground and the materials from which each
is made.
We read The Three Little Pigs and discussed
the properties of the materials they used to
build their houses.
We also shared our opinion about the best
material to use to build a house.
Social Studies
We described how people modify the environment to meet their changing needs for shelter.
We also described why people protect the
environment.
FIELD TRIP
Thanks to all the parents who have turned
in permission slips for our trip to the National Zoo on May 12. Your child’s teacher
will be in touch with volunteers soon.
If you have not turned in your form, please
do so as soon as possible!
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.
