Seesaw Activities

We did a few activities on Seesaw today! The kids had a blast! :)

 In math, the students have been working hard on place value. We have been learning about the tens place and the ones place. They had to build a number using base ten manipulatives and then wrote the number of tens and ones along with the number that they built. Finally, we took a picture of our work and added it to our Seesaw Portfolios. 

In phonics, we have been learning about glued sounds. This week, we have been focusing on words that end with -ang, -ing, -ong, and -ung. The students were given a list of words and they were instructed to mark their words by putting a box around the glued sound. Then they took a picture of their sheet and recorded them saying the words. Keep in mind that we have been practicing really hard and still get a few of them confused :)

Winter Concert

It was a very busy day for the first graders! We had our winter concert today. They did a fantastic job singing their four songs. The songs were Snowman, Where'd You Go?, Hanukkah Dreams, Turn Off that Nose! and Joy to the World. 

Snowman, Where'd You Go?

Turn Off that Nose!

Caps, Hats, Socks, and Mittens

We read the book Caps, Hats, Socks, and Mittens Written by Louise Borden and Illustrated by Lillian Hoban. After reading this book, the students thought of the things that they need to wear for our very frigid Wisconsin weather. They were instructed to write five things that they need to wear in order to stay warm. Below you will find one of the pieces of writing that was created. After completing their writing piece, the students created a fun project.

More Coding!

While in the computer lab today, we learned more about coding and another fun website. Today we used the Kodable website. The kids had an absolute blast making their fuzz ball go through a maze while collecting as many coins as possible. You can access this website at home. Click on the Kodable Website Link!
