Lamaster's Line Up
Here's what's happening in first grade...
Reading and Writing
We practiced using picture clues to help us figure out tricky words when reading. We also read fiction and nonfiction bat stories to help us learn more about bats. We started by listing "What We Think We Already Know About Bats" and then checking to see if what we thought was true as we read. In writing, we practiced writing "How To" pieces.
Math
In math this week, we focused on identifying odd and even numbers. We also looked for patterns and tricks to help us decide if a number is "odd" or "even". We learned that we can look at the last number to decide if it is odd or even. For example, 3, 456 is even because it ends with a "6" and "6" is "even". Next week, we will be practicing telling time to the 1/2 hour which can get a little tricky!
