Adventures from the week of February. 14, 2022

 Adventures in First Grade During the Week of Feb. 14, 2022


From Valentine’s Day to “Hat, PJs and Hot Chocolate” day, to Olympic Bingo we had a very fun and full week! 


We:

  • Celebrated Valentine’s day by sharing kindness and cards with each other, as well as by making a Valentine for our families

  •  Finished our 4th unit in math on Measurement, Time, and Fractions

  • Learned about the Olympics and played some Olympics Bingo - during which we all earned a gold medal!

  • Enjoyed our school-wide celebration of Hat Day along with our classroom celebration of PJs and Hot Chocolate Day (for completing another 60 hours of reading homework!) 

  • Continued to work on our animal research project

  • Continued practicing and learning the “-ng glued sounds” with a suffix s

  • Ended our week with a fun movie as we were not able to do Snow Motion (hopefully, we will get a make-up day after the February break!)

Our Week in Review - Week of February 4

 

Our Week in Review - Week of February 4, 2022


NOTE: We will have a small Valentine’s Day celebration on Monday, February 14, where students can exchange valentine's cards if they so choose.  This is a reminder that we cannot allow food to come in to be shared.  We look forward to a fun time celebrating friendship and kindness! 


First graders accomplished a lot of learning this week!  

We did many things, including:

  • Learned about adding a suffix s to words with “-ng” glued sounds

  • Continued working on our animal research books

  • Learned about halves and fourths

  • Folded some fractions and colored some

  • Had an All School Morning Meeting with a guest reader (virtual)

  • L[earned more about how parent animals help their babies and had some great discussions! 

  • Started learning how to tell time to the half-hour

  • Made Valentine holders - hopefully, they didn’t end up at home with your child!  If they did, please send them back in!
