Adventures in First Grade: Week of Jan. 24, 2022

 Highlights from the week of Jan. 24, 2022


A fun-filled week topped off with our first trip to Cochran’s for Snow Motion!!  A HUGE THANK YOU to Mr. G. for organizing this for all of our students each year!!


This week we:


  • Learned the -nk “glued sounds” (-ink, -ank, -onk, and -unk)

  • Did a lot of measuring using different units (linker cubes, paper clips, and inch tiles)

  • Measure different kinds of fish to determine whether they were “keepers” or not

  • After reading many of the “What if You Had Animal _______s “ (books written by Sandra Markle and illustrated by Howard McWilliam) we created our own animal heads using different parts from different animals

  • Had Guidance with Ms. Spaulding and continued to learn about empathy and others’ feelings

  • Learned about the nonfiction features Table of contests and Comparisons

  • Learned about the wonderful online resource Pebble Go and explored a myriad of animals (next week students will each choose an animal to do a  research project on!)

  • Had our first Snow Motion trip!!
