What a beautiful weekend for Easter! I hope you had a great weekend!
Friday we had a fun day with mapping centers! Check out the pictures below!
Tying shoes! First grade is a great time to learn how to tie shoes! It is so easy to buy the shoes without shoelaces now-a-days. However, by the end of first grade is a great goal to master this skill!
There are several different ways to tie shoes. Making two bunny ears and tying them is a good beginner way of tying shoes. I have challenged the class to learn how to tie the harder way like us adults all learned with making the loop, going around the thumb, through the hole and pull tight. Then, double knot! The shoelaces stay tied much tighter!
Once tying shoes is mastered, your child can choose anything they want from my treasure boxes!
Thank you for helping your child practice at home too! It definitely takes a village to learn how to tie shoes!
Phonics_
This week we are back in our Phonics book with the ou/ow sounds!
We learned that ou is mainly in the middle of a word whereas; ow can be found in the middle and at the end.
Heart words: after, pull, goes, laugh
Math
Look for the math test coming home in your child's folder today over time/measurement.
Our next chapter is on flat 2D shapes and solid 3D shapes.
Science
Plants! We will be learning about the parts of a plant along with their jobs. This week we will find out about the parts of a seed as we dissect a lima bean.
We will also plant grass seed in dirt, water it every few days and watch it grow.
