First Grade Happenings
December 11, 2015
Reading
Math
We read Henny Penny and The True Story
of The Three Little Pigs. We compared the
experiences on the characters in the
stories. We also described the characters,
setting, and major events using key details.
We continued to work on strategies to
solve addition and subtraction equations.
We used the strategies of doubles, doubles plus one, counting on, and counting
back.
Writing
Science
We wrote a book review for a book we
recently read in the classroom. We shared
our opinion and supplied a reason for our
opinion. We also wrote an opinion piece
about the wolf from the play we saw.
We built ramps to observe the motion of
cars. We also identified push and pull
forces behind a change of motion.
Social Studies
We identified how families share and
borrow customs and traditions from
other cultures. We learned about
different versions of Hopscotch Around
the World.
