First Grade Happenings
March 4, 2016
Reading
Math
We read several poems this week. “Above, Below”, “Lady Liberty”, “Mountain Men” to name a
few. We asked and answered questions about
what the poems main topic and key details were.
We also read several Dr. Seuss stories in
different first grade classrooms!
We learned a few new math centers to help us
develop fluency with addition and subtraction
within 10.
Writing
Science
We completed our informative texts about
features of Yellowstone National Park.
We focused on the vegetation, animals, bodies
of water, climate, and landforms.
We also wrote about relative distances on a
map of our school.
We observed the school yard and recorded
natural and human-made features found
outside. We used this information to
create a map of Greenwood.
Social Studies
FIELD TRIP
Permission slips were sent home on
Thursday, February 25.
These are due 3/9.
We also solved some fun story problems for
our Dr. Seuss themed week!
We created a map of Greenwood after we
walked around the school yard taking notes
about the different features.
We used a description of Maryland Long Ago
to create a map of what Maryland used to look
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.
