First Grade Happenings
January 8, 2016
Reading
Math
We identified the main topic and key
details in the image “Wasilla, Alaska.” We used
details in a text to describe key ideas in Then
and Now. We also read informational texts,
including Time For Kids articles.
We continued to work on strategies to solve
addition and subtraction story
problems. We developed fluency for
addition and subtraction within 10. Check out
this website for more practice:

Writing
Science
We wrote about events during our winter
break. We added details to our sequences
events. We are currently working on a
sequenced event writing about living
in a snow globe!
We asked questions about how magnets affect objects. We described how magnets
are used in everyday life.
Social Studies
We examined photographs of the past and
compared them to current photographs of
similar images.
