What's Happening in our Class?!?
The latest and greatest on first grade fun!
Today we had another writing celebration! We shared our informational text with the class. First we had a group conference where we shared our writing with 2 friends. We gave each other compliments and suggestions. We also asked questions about the writing. Then we did a gallery walk. We read the stories that were interesting to us. We are super proud of our work. Soon we will bring home our writing with the grading rubric.

We ended this week solving word problems. We will continue to work on this next week. The first graders were very eager to tell me the answers to the word problems. We learned that we have to show HOW we know. Today we used the number line strategy to solve a problem. We used the number three different ways to figure out the answer. We are working on solving problems in multiple ways and showing HOW we know! The first time we started with the total amount and counted back.
This week we are learning how plants meet their needs. We identified the different plant parts. We learned what each plant part does and how it helps the plant to survive. You can ask your first grader about the different plant parts and how they help the plant survive. We put a celery stem into blue water. We made predictions about what we think will happen to the celery. We can't wait to see what happens to our celery!!
We had a blast walking to school today. The first graders did a super job demonstrating their safety rules. They remembered to stop and look left, right and left again when coming to a crosswalk. We only crossed in crosswalks and stayed on the sidewalk. These are safety rules you can practice at home too! Here are some pictures of the fun! Today we started learning about nonfiction or informational texts. We will be reading and writing informational texts for the next 2-3 weeks. We identified the characteristics of a nonfiction text and fiction text. You can identify the types of books you are reading at home and ask your first grader: HOW DO YOU KNOW?
