What We're Working on This Week:
First Grade Curriculum:
Language Arts

We will also be working on a few special things to show our special friends when they come on Friday for Special Friends Day!
Social Studies
In Social Studies we continue our unit on Citizenship and Rules! We will discuss the rules of home and school as well as being a good citizen! We will be working on a research project with a partner! Each group will highlight and study one characteristic of a good citizen! Characteristics include: responsibility, respect, honesty, kindness, etc...
Math
In math we will be diving deep into our exploration of Place Value. Our first graders will become experts about how to represent two and three digit numbers. They will practice writing numbers in expanded form and building them in different ways. We will be practicing all of these skills by playing partner games and doing math stations.
Science
This week in science we will be exploring how liquids can turn into solids-- freezing, and how solids can turn into liquids-- melting. We will get a little bit messy as we explore these processes in a hands-on way! We will also be planting in our Town Center garden! We are so excited about seeing the plant life cycle first hand and watching our plants grow!
