Miss Daly's First Grade Weekly News
Math
Our mathematicians are continually working hard in math class! This week we worked on comparing numbers. We are using vocabulary such as greater than, less than and equal to when comparing numbers.
Math With Dice
Students rolled two dice and composed a number. Their partner did the same. They compared the numbers to see whose number was greater!
Math With Dice
Students practiced using symbols that represent greater than, less than and equal to (>,< or =).
Having Fun In Math
Students cheer when they had the greater number!
Word Work (Phonics)
Our children have been working hard all year on Word Work! We practice decoding nonsense words every day with Mrs. Hoopes! This week we learned the soft "c" and soft "g" sounds. Ask you child: "When does the letter "c" make the soft sound? When does the letter "g" make the soft sound?"
Learning Soft "c" and Soft "g" Sounds
We learned that the letters "c" and "g" make the soft sound when an "e", "i" or "y" come right after; like in the word price.
Soft "c" and "g" Bubbles
Students used a word bank to write words that made the soft sounds.
Decoding
Students mark words and then read them.
Science
This week we learned about different parts of a plant and what each part's job is! We then read about a tree that can grow up to 275 feet tall! We went on an adventure to give the students a real life perspective of how tall the tree stands.
Community Building
We love watching Kid President videos! Before spring break we watched Kid President and began writing a paragraph about "What are you teaching the world?" The students brain stormed ideas of important things they could teach the world.
