We have started on unit on adding and subtracting two digit numbers. Students learned startegies for adding two digit numbers in first grade and many students have strong mental math skills. We are working to write equations and show how we regroup when adding and subtracting.
Students enjoyed exploring one use for sand. We made sandpaper rubbings and played a guessing game to explore the fine, medium and coarse textures of sandpaper.
This week we learned about nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs to make our sentences stronger. To help students practice identifying nouns, adjectives and verbs, we played this online tic tac toe game in partners and as a whole class. Have your student log in to Classlink, find the Starfall app in the student learning tools folder and the look for the tic tac toes game in the grades 1,2,3 section. Enjoy playing together!
Our class enjoyed exercising and celebrating the success of our PTO Biisterthon fundraiser! Thank you to all who donated and to all who shoed up to support our students.
Using three different sized screens, students sorted river rocks into sand, gravel and pebbles.
Weathering. Rocks break apart into smaller particles called sand.
We start each day with math practice. Students are expected to complete an iReady math lesson or an iReady Fluency Flight session before choosing a way to extend their learning. Students also work in small groups with teachers to preteach or reteach math skills.
A few days a week, students have 5 minutes of quiet time. Students may choose to read, write, practice math, draw, play with playdoh or rest. It is a great way for students to practice self regulation and reset after recess and lunch.
