Measuring in Math using Popsicle Sticks
This week Mrs. Brady read us a book about the brain. We learned that when we learn something new, we create new pathways in our brain. The human brain is incredibly complex and controls everything we do. By working hard at school we can grow new pathways!
Students drew pictures of things they already know and things they want to know-their pathways-and shared them with each other.
Speaking of new skills, shoe tying is an important skill. Students help each other at school. Please practice with your child at home.
During Writing Workshop we spent one day going back to our stories and correcting our capitalization and punctuation errors with our writing partners. We are also learning how to use craft moves, such as pop out words, ellipses and describing exact actions of our characters.
These two writers were trying to decide which period was correct. Together they decided on the last one.
Students reading yoga books and trying our some moves!
Of course the highlight of our week was our Back to School Night. The students were so eager and proud to teach their families all about first grade!
If you have any questions that were not answered that night or in the slide show I shared, please email me.
Thank you for your support!
