We had another wonderful week in first grade! I can't believe that February Break is here and that when we're back it will be March! We spent this week wrapping up our learning and celebrating our hard work!
We have had a great time learning about China but it was time to fly home! We learned about the Lantern Festival, made lanterns, finished up our panda painting, wrote postcards, and flew home this week! We also watched Mulan on Friday afternoon!
We read more biographies and learned about important text features. Students learned about captions, quotes, text boxes, and timelines that give us more information while reading a biography. In writing we practiced using complete sentences.
Early this week students solved place value riddles and applied their place value understanding to money (pennies, dimes, and dollars). Students also took the Unit 6 Assessment and did a President Abraham Lincoln math craft in honor of Presidents' Day!
We also had a great Four Winds Lesson about how animals prepare for winter. Students did an experiment to test what is the best way to keep warm and insulated during a cold winter.
