Today was a great day! We started off the day watching the kindergarten class sing at our morning assembly. Students then continued the day writing entries in their Weekly News Journals. They will share them with you this weekend. Please write a quick note back, as I will share your notes Monday during morning meeting
We began our new science unit on the Earth, Moon and Sky. Students are beginning to understand why day and night happens. Today we talked about how the Earth circles around the sun and the moon circles around the Earth. We demonstrated this on the smartboard and through an interactive acting activity. Students were very excited to begin the "space unit."
The first grade math class ended the Investigations geometry unit and will be moving on to Story Problems next week. During the next unit students will learn strategies for solving a word problem. We will also focus on writing math equations.
It's been wonderful having the time to teach; thank you for sharing the classroom with me. Have a great weekend!
Best,
Brandy (Ms. Hines)
