Week in Review
This week, we began to put what we have been learning about informational texts to use! The kids chose their animals to research and began the AMAZING process of reading informational texts and pulling out key words. They have taken this job so very seriously (as you can see below :-P) and are enjoying sharing their information with their peers. 
 We use sources such as Raz-Kids, Library books, Fact Files, National Geographic Kids, and PebbleGo.

You can login to PebbleGo at home using the link to the right --->




 Look at how much information he has found! Jed has taken the job of inquiry so seriously. He opens his text, thinks, "Hm...I wonder ____?" and uses the text to answer his questions!

In Math, we practiced skip counting.
 Hands on math is the best math. :)
 We used our personal hundreds charts to continue counting sequences of 10s, 5s, and 2s.
 Some of our groups even got a head start on money! As a class, we will begin studying money this week. :)



Here's to another great week in first grade!
20 more days!
