Week in Review
This was our first week moving away from personal narratives and into opinion writing. EVERY first grader has their own opinion (as I am sure you are well aware) and we loved sharing them with our friends.
To start, we practiced explaining the difference between a fact and an opinion.
We learned some simple ways to begin telling our opinion.
We also practiced telling our opinion (and understanding that our friends might not share the same opinion as us!) We needed to practice some of our conversational skills again so we did some fun Would You Rather questions with Quiz, Quiz, Trade.
After we tasted all of them, we chose our favorite and used the adjectives as our reasons for liking that type of candy best! Our friends had some silly conversations about their favorites.
We love adjectives so we had a blast continuing to practice describing with them this week.
The week started out with us reading about our five senses as a way to experience and describe the world around us. Here are some of the ways we described big, fluffy marshmallows!
Next, we described all sorts of wacky pumpkins!
Then it was finally time for our Pumpkin Investigation!
Everyone knows investigators have to carry around important files. So, we made our very own pumpkin files.
We explored the outside and inside of our class pumpkin.
(gotta love tying in those adjectives!)
We tested its ability to sink or float!
We sorted our pumpkin seed into groups of ten for better counting technique. We had fun making predictions about how many were inside...here's a hint: our mat held 240 and we STILL had more seeds to count! Regardless...check out that hands-on teamwork below!
Hope you were able to rest up over Fall Break!
Here's to another great week :)

To start, we practiced explaining the difference between a fact and an opinion.
By Wednesday, we were ready to start giving some reasons for our opinions.
We taste tested 3 different types of candy and reviewed adjectives by describing each piece of candy.
