1st grade is learning about Vowel Teams. Students use Fundations Dry Erase boards, look for patterns in small group Ribgy books, and use vowel team knowledge to write answer in independent journal prompts.
Students are enjoying our current math unit on Time. Each 1st grader had a mini clock to practice telling time to hour and half hour. In math, students enjoy playing math games. They apply both addition and subtraction strategies to build on math facts.
Our upcoming reading curriculum themes focus on Fantasy Stories and theme, Growing Plants and identifying central idea, and “Kid” Inventors and how students can change the world.
In April, each class will watch as caterpillars form chrysalis’s, and with time, turn into butterflies. Students will take observational notes daily to report to families about the Life Cycle process. Once all the butterflies have emerged from chrysalis, we will release in our beautiful OG garden.
