Hello all, today in grade 1 we:
Language Arts: Introduced W question words: what, who, when, where, why. Discussed the difference between when and where, it was a little difficult for some, but we will continue working on this through out the week. We should be finished with Unit 1 at the end of next week, first Language Arts assessment is scheduled for Friday September 11th.
Math: Addition adding in vertical form.
Social studies: Continued discussing ideas from before and now. We wrote down questions and answers in our notebooks about tools from the past and newer ones we use now in our classrooms.
Science: Continued to care for our plants, made observations of how it was doing and continued to fill out our investigations worksheets.
ECA: We will be having our "Reading Buddies" period today with Grade 5, this will entail the students getting set up in partners (one first grade and one 5th grade) and having the older kids read to the younger ones. This is something we will be doing throughout the year.
Homework: MPB pg.2.8
Social Studies: Activity Book pg. 8
Today we gave prizes for Dojo Awards:

All the kids will reset to 0 again, and slowly accumulate until its time to cash out prizes once again!
