Week of October 10th:
I hope all students had a relaxing 2 days off this week! Our regular homework packets will resume next week. In Language Arts this week, we continued investigating the informational article titled, How Are Animals Like and Not Like Their Parents?" We were able to use our brace map that we created last week (showing details and main idea) to generate questions about the text on a detail/question chart. We also had to compare the different animals described in the text. In grammar, we continued to work on using periods, question marks, and exclamation points appropriately. We finished our punctuation foldables and were able to sort and classify sentences into those three categories. In addition we always practice our fluency routines weekly: phoneme segmentation, sound spelling and word blending, word recognition, and reading fluency using the passages given to us in our weekly homework. In math, we continued to work on the concept of indirect comparisons of object attributes. We need to be able to organize, represent, and interpret data as demonstrated by classifying objects and counting on to add and subtract. The skill we specifically worked on this week was comparing lengths of objects directly and indirectly to understand that if object A is longer than object B, and object B is longer than object C, then object A is longer than object C. We also began a reader's theater on Christopher Columbus and why Monday was a significant holiday in history. Next week, 1st grade will be creating a dedication video for the Desert Hot Springs Police Department, along with the rest of the school. In preparation for filming, we created props and practiced our lines for the video. We also wrote letters and drew pictures describing the job of a police officer and had discussion about what they do for our community. The PBIS Social Skill of the week was "Participating in Activities". This means that we appropriately request to be part of an activity, cooperate with others in the group, such as allowing others to take their turns, use a pleasant voice when talking to others, and remember to accept losing or winning appropriately. Have a great weekend! Miss Joiner learningwithmissjoiner.weebly.com
