We are all getting ready for the holidays but still continue to be productive. In writing we finished our personal narratives and had a chance to share them with each other. We have now begun writing persuasive essays. We are trying to persuade the first grade teachers to let the first graders choose their own seat at lunch! We'll have to see how good they are at persuading us. I have heard a lot of good reasons already. In Fundations we have been learning about the suffix -s. When we add an -s to the end of the word that is a noun it becomes a plural word(cats, dogs). We learned that this means there is more than 1. We can also add it to the end of an action word it means someone is doing something (runs, hops). When we were introduced to this new concept we found out that -s sometimes says /z/ when it is at the end of the word (bugs). In math we have been learning how to use addition to help us solve subtraction problem. Please be sure to practice your math facts. When the students know their math facts they are able to easily see the relationship between the subtraction and addition problems. We had a very quick science unit on matter. We learned that there are 3 states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. We learned a little bit the properties of matter. Then we got to do some hands on experiments to better understand the properties of matter. We loved doing the experiments and working with all our first grade friends!
