Today in Grade 1:
Language Arts: Wrote sentences together and began learning about the naming parts of a sentence, the subject or nouns. We finished some pages in our Language Arts Work Book.
PE: Kids played games outside with Mr. Yanna during PE, I remind you to please send an extra shirt for your children to change into after PE, as they are sweaty and wet and the classroom will have the air conditioner on.
Math: Began solving word problems, students are encouraged to draw pictures to better organize the ideas of a word problem, however it is not necessary if they can find the answer another way. There will be a math assessment (quiz) on Friday on the skills learned in Chapter 1. For assessment on the word problems, we will read the problem together, and talk about how to solve it, but the students will have to find the answer on their own.
Reading / Phonics: Reviewed consonant sounds, and did some work pages in our phonics work book. Created word chains such as cat-mat-rat-pat-lap-map...
Social Studies: Talked about school workers and their names and responsibilities.
Compared and contrasted peoples jobs. Finished a SS worksheet
Science: Talked more about Classifying and Communicating information. We made many graphs and classified students into different groups such as age groups. gender groups, which pets you have and whats your favorite food.
