April 14-18, 2014
Last week was
super exciting! We had a lot of chicks hatch and we had so much FUN! We are
continuing our research on chicks this week to help us understand more about
where they come from. It is fun times in first grade right now!
Math: This week we will begin learning about
fractional parts. We will learn what a
fraction is first off, and then we will talk about equal parts of a whole and
then even halves and fourths. If you find
the opportunity to talk about fractional parts with your child at home, that
would be great! Any time you can find
the chance to relate math to real life is awesome!
Reading and Writing
Workshop: This week in Reading and Writing workshop, we
will be reading Expository texts and learning about the Research process. We will apply this knowledge when we begin
our class Research project on Chicks!
After that, the students will be picking their own topic to research.
Science: This
week in science we will continue our Animals unit. We will focus on Mammals this week. We will learn about the mammals’ body parts,
life cycle, how mammals depend on the different things in their habitat, and last,
we will learn what makes mammal babies so different from all other
animals’.
