HaPpY OcToBeR....Things here in first grade are getting a little "batty"!!! Yes we are studying bats this week and we have some large vocabulary words to prove it. Bats are nocturnal mammals. Some bats hibernate. All bats use echolocation to navigate. Microbats eat millions of mosquitoes and insects, we like that! Megabats eat fruits and help spread seeds. We will make bats, read about bats, research bats, compare bats and play games using "echolocation".
Next week we will have our theme 2 reading test, the information for that test will be in the weekly folder this week. I am so proud of the progress the children are making. We are reading CVC words and are learning to read CVCe words. We have mastered all of our first high frequency word list and are working on list 2. We will work with "s" blend words this week. We are dividing words into syllables to decode and we have learned the "i" and "e" sound that -y makes at the end of a word.
Fun in math.
The children learned a rap song to help them memorize their doubles facts. They are writing number sentences and solving word problems. They are creating amazing patterns with pattern blocks. We are using ordinal numbers, color words, directional words and number words every day. Math time is a busy time in first grade
Stay tuned for SpIdErS, pUmPkInS and other HaLlOwEen things...
