Fun in First!
Ms. Eadie's Class
Clusters!
Last Friday was our third cluster day! As engineers, students were put in teams of two to create a structure that could hold 5 text books. We had many different creations and most of them worked!
Science Lab
This past Tuesday we attended our third science lab of the year. We learned all about motion, and we had so much fun!
Work Stations
Every day your student goes to a workstation while I pull guided reading groups. Everyone works with a partner to practice the different skills we have been learning in reading, writing, and word study. Below are some pictures of some of our different stations.
Listening Station
At this station the students listen to a book on Tumblebooks. They fill out a response sheet that matches what we have already learned in reading.
iPad Station
This is a popular one! Students get to use an ipad to play different learning apps to work on making words, sight words, and other first grade skills.
Pocket Chart Station
This station allows students to manipulate poems, sort word cards, create sentences, and more! Students use the pocket chart and then record what they did on their recording sheet.
Library Station
This station allows students to read many different books in our classroom library. After reading they complete a response sheet on one of the books they read.
Computer Station
We have been using Starfall as well as ABCya in our computer station so far. Students working on their word work skills as well as their computer skills!
Word Study Station
Students practice their spelling words in this station. They use letter tiles and practice writing their words (as well as past word wall words). They are also able to manipulate the letters in those words to make new words.
Clusters
Today was our fourth cluster day! In science we have been learning about motion- push and pull. These little engineers created gadgets to pull out a chair. Some were even able to pull the chair when their partner was sitting in it!
I hope you enjoyed these pictures!
Have a great weekend!!!
