Week in Review
October is always such a fun time in first grade. You really begin to see students take off in their learning as our curriculum begins to go more in depth on certain topics.
Over the past 2 weeks, we have dug deep into Reading Comprehension and Parts of Speech (specifically nouns).
In Reading, we started talking about Pumpkins!
We kicked off our pumpkin study with this fun book:
You can read along with it at this link:
We talked about Spookley's character traits by comparing traits we see on the outside vs. the inside.
We also used this text to practice retelling and telling our opinion of his character traits while using text evidence!
Being in first grade, we cutesied it up a little bit with these fun pumpkin foldables.
In Math, we learned some new addition games.
In Writing, we've been discussing Opinions. We read one of the silliest books around:
Every year, we get into a heated discussion in first grade about whether this critter is a duck or a rabbit! The kids know I don't just accept an opinion - you have to tell me WHY! So, we split into 2 groups and the groups had to share their reasons for why they think the animal is a duck or rabbit. We used that chart to help us write our first opinion pieces!
Have a FABULOUS week!
