Hello Families! The kids worked so hard this week! It was a big week as we close out the assessment window--a lot of great reading and writing being done in first grade! We balanced it out with some fun and some free writing! So many creative stories! We finished up our unit on Solids and Liquids. We learned about the properties of liquids and how about the changing states of matter. We even did an experiment and watched as a solid (baking soda) and a liquid (vinegar) make a gas. I hope your child told you about our science experiment excitement! Have them explain the science behind what happened! If only we had caught it on video. We even squeezed in a quick lesson on kindness. We read the book The Recess Queen and talked about how we can be kindness queens and kings! We made kindness crowns that were so cute!
We started our science unit on Solids and Liquids. We explored the properties of solids by looking at a variety of objects and seeing if they were flexible or rigid, smooth or rough, flat or pointed, etc. Just look at these scientists hard at work! In reading we've been working hard on retelling! We retell the characters, setting, events (beginning, middle, end), problem and solution, and the central message. |
