Grade 1b News - Nov 4 - Nov 15

This is our classroom news for the last 2 weeks.

Reading: We have worked on learning what a noun is and rhyming words. We also practiced the consonants N, D, P and F and the short a vowel sound. We also learned these new words and practiced using them in our writing: play, with, be, help, you, and.

Writing:  We have been learning more strategies to help us spell words correctly in our stories. We also learned what a complete sentence is and what we should do when we think we are finished with a story.

Math: We learned how to use a number line and we continued to practice counting on. We also learned about doubles and near doubles in addition. Also, at the end of last week, we moved onto our subtraction unit and will beginning practicing subtraction in the coming weeks.

Science: We finished our senses unit and then we began our next unit on plants and animals. Last week, we learned what the difference is between a living and non-living things and practiced identifying them in the world.

Social Studies: We learned about our extended family. What is an aunt, uncle and cousin? We also made family trees. Our monthly value is Responsibility, so we also practiced learning about being responsible.

Art: In art, we made stick figure portraits and outlined them in different colored pencils.
