We added the words: one, two, does, her & they to our first grade sight word list! This week we also discussed the short /o/ sound like in the words: hog, not, top. In addition we discussed what nouns are and added the inflectional ending ed to a lot of words. Examples- work becomes worked Math: We are still in Topic 3 this week. We are using a ten frame to show how to make 5 and 10. Science: In science this week we are discussing the sun. The sun is a big ball of gas. It provides heat and light to our Earth. This week we created our own shadow shapes and conducted an experiment called Sun vs. Crayon. We set a white crayon and black crayon outside for the day to see which would melt faster! Ask your scholar about their findings! Social Studies: This week we have been talking about the difference between fact and fiction. Stories like Little Red Riding Hood and Aladdin are fiction, but stories of real events/people like MLK and Lincoln are facts! Health: In health this week we have been talking about healthy teeth!!
