Week 35 in G1!
Students learned to compare and contrast books and group books based on the lessons they teach and how to recommend a book you love to someone else in reading.
In writing, students used revising and editing checklists to publish at least two realistic fiction stories in their series this week, and some students chose to include a table of contents! We are getting ready for our final Reading and Writing Celebration of the year at 8:15am on Friday 5/18 in our classroom. See you there!
This week in math, students took the last unit assessment and began the Everyday Math End-of-Year assessment, which we will finish next week. Continue to use IXL at home to practice all the Grade 1 topics we’ve covered this year in math, particularly the highlighted strands!
Students planned and investigated the question, “What happens when we put an object in the path of light?” in science. We also did some further research online and in books to answer the big question in our light and sound unit: “How can we use light or sound to communicate over a distance?” Next week students will work with a group to show an answer to the big question.
