SOME NEW EXCITEMENTS IN FIRST GRADE:
It is that time of the year! Each first grade class will be hosting close to a dozen of hatching eggs. We are expecting our hatching eggs to arrive sometime this week. We will then put the eggs in the incubators and patiently wait for 21 days for our eggs to hatch. This is a part of the animal unit and our first graders will get to observe the life cycle of birds first hand right in our classroom! It will be an exciting time for all of us!
READING and WRITING
This week we will start another unit on Research. Our focus will be on chicks. We will determine what we want to learn from a source and stretch our thinking. Readers wonder more as they learn and read more. We will learn how we can go to different sources such expository texts, reliable internet sources, or asking adults to find out the answers to our questions. In Writing we will continue to record our new findings and learning and put it into a book where others can read it and learn from our research.

MATH
This week we will work on inequality and comparison subtraction. We will review that equal sign represents a relationship where expressions on each side of the equal sign represent the same values and inequality represent different values. We will use objects and pictorial models to solve word problems involving joining, separating and comparing sets within 20.
SCIENCES
We will continue learning about living and non-living, ecosystem and the inter-dependency of animals and plants in their ecosystem. This week we will focus on birds, their external characteristics and how these characteristics determine where the birds live, what they eat and how they move. We will also learn about the life cycle and the interdependency of birds and other animals and plants in their ecosystem.
