Grade 1b News Feb 17 - 28


Language Arts: We have spent a lot of time learning about the Magic E (silent e) sound and are learning a song about it. This sound is really important and should help a lot with their reading. We also learned S cluster sounds like sn, sk, sc, sp, sl, st.


Math: We worked on Counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s. We learned how to count by tens if we start at a different number, like 7. We also learned how to use a hundreds chart and how to identify number patterns.

Science: In science we have spent a lot of time making Habitat Murals and we finally finished. We made these murals to demonstrate our understanding of what animals and plants live in each habitat. The murals look fabulous. I am very impressed with their hard work!

Social Studies: We finished up our Communities unit. We also learned about Respect and we have been practicing a lot about what being respectful means.

Art: We spent our art time working on our habitat murals. The murals helped us practice our drawing, cutting and gluing skills.

During this period of time, we also took our trip to the Ceramic Cafe and also received certificates for our achievements. I will make a separate post with pictures from those events.

Take a look at our habitat murals!
