Hello everyone, here is a run down of grade 1 for today:
Language Arts: Regular nouns (person, place or thing, not names) vs. Proper nouns (person place or things that are names). Understanding when to use a capital letter. Practiced naming and writing proper nouns for different places, such as: Kaohsiung, Dominican International School, Aozhidi Park, Taiwan.
Math: Completed the Chapter 5 Assessment on different strategies we can use to solve addition sentences and addition word problems.
Science: Completed a review together on Animals and their classifications in their Science Fusion book. Tomorrow we will be having an small assessment on the animal kingdoms and their classification. We have reviewed and learned a lot about this in class. Matching which animals have eggs or live babies and the difference in their skin types (scales, feathers, hair, etc..) as well as their basic needs (water, air and food).
Today we also wrapped up the presentations of Animals from last week, I was so impressed in the improvements from a lot of the kids! They are doing wonderfully! We will take a break from presentations this week. Please remember to send in their Reading Logs as they finish them so I can give students new ones, every time a log is filled out, Dojo points are rewarded.
