A Look to This Week 1-25-16 to 1-29-16

While we were off Monday and had a 1/2 day on Friday. First graders in Room 5 got a lot of learning done. I don't have a lot of pictures, but here's a brief summary of some of the things we did this week.

Fireman Mike

Fireman Mike from the Deerfield Fire department came to first grade classrooms to teach us about fire safety. We went into Mrs. Cacioppo's room to listen and learn with her first graders.

Super Leader of the Week

Our Super Leader did a great job showing us different ways she can be a leader. She read a Dr. Suess favorite "Green Eggs and Ham." she created some great clues for her Mystery Bag and showed us how talented she is on the piano.

Hermit Crabs

We have watched our hermit crabs in their habitat but have not seen them do too much. This past week we decided to get up close and personal with our little shelled friends. We took them out and observed them on the rug. Our little friends were happy to get to stretch their "crabby" legs and the students were beyond excited to watch.

This Week 1-25-16 to 1-29-16!

ELA

Using different texts we will. . .

• Continue to identify main idea and key details in non-fiction text.
• Look for inferences.
• Find text evidence by going back into the text to prove answers.

MATH

In math we will. . .

• review finding missing "addends" in addition ( __ + 5 =9) and the missing "minuends" and "subtrahends" in subtraction ( __ - 5 = 4) ( 9 - 5 = 4). 
• identify information on a graph and using the information to solve problems.
• continue to identify numbers in the hundred's, ten's, and one's, place.

SCIENCE

We will continue to. . .

• look at different animals and the senses they need and use in order to survive.
• make observations of our hermit crabs and what senses they are using to survive.

LEADER IN ME

This week will re-focus on Habit 1 - Being Proactive. We will listen to a story called "Thunder Cake" by Patricia Polacco. After listening to the story, we will have a class discussion about emotions and how we can use being proactive to help us with our different emotions.
