This is news for the last two weeks.
Reading: We learned about adjectives. Right now, we know that adjectives tell shape, size, color and number and they describe a noun. We have practiced looking at sentences and figuring out which words are the nouns, verbs and adjectives. We also learned about what a pronoun is and how to use them. We learned the short o, and short u sound in words like rot, lot, mop, top and run, sun, fun. We practiced the qu and z sounds and double consonant sounds like zz, ll, ss, ff, tt. Miss Miranda finished reassessing our reading levels and has created new reading groups based on our progress! The class has shown excellent progress!
Writing: We have continue to work on small moment stories. We are in the early stages where we are just working on identifying what a small moment is.
Math: We finished Chapter 10 about place value and tens and ones. This was a very short chapter, but the students learned the concept well.
Science: We used books about different habitats to do some research. Students were put into groups and read about two different habitats together. They were given research questions, such as, What is the name of the habitat? What plants live there? What animals live there? and they needed to use the book and their team to answer the questions. This was a fun activity and the students really enjoyed it.
Social Studies: We began to learn about communities. We looked first at our school community. We made a list of all of the people in our school and what their jobs are. We talked about why each person's job is so important and what would happen if our school didn't have that one job. We learned that every person in the school is very important and we all work together to make the school run.
Nutty Scientists Trip: The show and activities at the Nutty Scientists was about solids, liquids and gases. Students got to learn about carbon ice and sublimation (when a solid turns straight into a gas). They know about Carbon Dioxide and call tell you it is CO2. They watched what happens when a solid turns into a gas and creates pressure. These extremely complex concepts were introduced to the students in a way that made it easy for them to understand. I was very proud with their effort to understand what they Nutty Scientists were teaching them!
Here are some pictures from the trip. I tried to get as many pictures of Grade 1b students as I could, but we were split into different groups, so all of the students were not with me. Check the other Grade 1 and 2 blogs to see more pictures.
