In phonics we learned about and practiced writing words with four new glued sounds: ing, ang, ong and ung. We also learned our new trick words- by, my, try, and why. Don’t forget, first graders can always practice these rules and trick words at home too!
In science we began researching the four seasons, and even got our very own research journals! We researched using books and on the Brainpop Jr. app on our iPads. We took careful notes on weather, activities, clothes, foods, and other interesting facts on each season. Check out some pictures below of our researchers in action!
Researching the Seasons!
During our library block we read the story The Hat by Jan Brett, and then began creating a picture glyph of a sock or a hat. We added details such as colors, stripes, or polka dots depending on our favorite seasons, our age, and the number of siblings we have. We loved creating these glyphs on our iPads on the Drawing Pad app!
Last but not least, Room 104 was VERY excited to learn of our new class buddy.. an owl named Hootie! Every Friday, one child will get to take Hootie home! Hootie will be sent home in a bag with a journal. Please encourage your child to enjoy his/her weekend with Hootie and write or type all about their time together! They can also add pictures (drawings or actual photographs). Every Monday Hootie should be brought back to school so that your child can share all about their weekend weekend. By the end of the year, we should have a nice long journal of all of Hootie’s adventures! Thank you for your support in this fun experience!
