First Grade Learning

Reading: 
In our fiction unit this week...

• we focused on answering questions--characters, setting, problem and solution about fiction stories.
• we worked on using pictures and punctuation to help us read with appropriate expression.
• we read stories about kindness and described the characters.
• we read Three Snow Bears, One, I Walk with Vanessa.

Math:
Module 2 is about making 10 to add. 

• making 10 with 3 addend problems ex 6 + 4 + 3
• making 10 with pictures and number bonds when one addend is 9 ( 9 + 5 = 9 + 1 + 4)
• making 10 with pictures and number bonds when one addend is 8 (8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4)

We will be taking our mid-module on Thursday.

Phonics:
This week we worked on long i--like, lime, tire, etc.

Writing:
This week we picked which story we would want to publish.  The kids used a checklist with all the things we've learned about narrative writing to check through their work.  Then they are conferencing with me about their writing and then making an final edits before it is ready to publish.  The kids are excited about this process.

During our weekend writing time we explicitly work on using appropriate punctuation and capitalization.  We worked on identifying when to put a period.  As the kids write more sentences and details it can be difficult to determine when to put a period.

Social Studies:
We continued learning about communities.  We talked about leaders and citizens in our community.
