This week we wrapped up our science unit.
We learned first hand which beak is best to pick up food scattered among rocks.
We learned why animals, both prey and predator, use camouflage to help them survive.
Students searched for camouflaged paper moths on these trees...
then made their own to hide around the classroom.
Our Nonfiction focus in reading is going very well.
This week we learned about how nonfiction books are organized differently.
Here are examples of text features students found in our classroom library:
Children LOVE to free read from the classroom library!
Four Winds Rocks!
YOU Skills-emojis!
In math we are practicing telling time to the hour.
Friday afternoon we met with fifth grade students from Mr. Baird's class in the library.
Each first grader chose two nonfiction books from our science unit for their fifth grade buddy to read to them.
It was a great way to end the week!
Our new chapter book read aloud:
READ ON!
