After reading and discussing Arthur's Family Vacation, 1R students wrote about their favorite family vacation memories and drew pictures to accompany their writing. However, the children did not include their names on their work. Parents will be trying to identify whose work is whose tomorrow morning at our curriculum breakfast!
We then practiced writing positive, supportive comments that we could use online on giant hearts. We know to always use our hearts when we post online. We traced each other's feet to make paper footprints. They will be good reminders that we all leave a digital footprint online!
1R students have started using number bracelets to discover how to decompose numbers. We are recording our work in the math section of our learning journals.
Students shared their science notebooks in our science meeting. They read the sentences they wrote about their observations and showed their drawings.
We observed our mystery seeds using hand lenses. We learned how to use these tools safely and to then record what we see in our science notebooks.
1R students have been acting out story problems to put math into a real world context. Here, the children are starting a subtraction story, which is being logged on the white board for all to see.
Every member of 1R signed the class rules that we wrote last week. We all promise to do our best to follow them in our classroom this year.
We are participating in International Dot Day on Monday, September 15th! After reading Peter Reynold's wonderful book, The Dot, each student created a picture using only dots that he/she cut using circle punches. We will be sharing our work with other classes around the world and enjoying their expressions of dots while keeping in mind the lesson of this book, "Make your mark!" on the 15th.
