During Language Arts class, we read a story about honey bees. We learned what the queen, drones, and worker bees do in a hive. In Math, we discovered how to count dimes and pennies. It was a little tricky at first, but we soon got the hang of it.
Wednesdays mean its Social Studies day. Our focus switched to geography today where we learned about the continents and oceans. We sang a special song and created a map of the world using a paper plate. I hope you like what they made.
With the Christmas musical season upon us, first grade did not have music class today, but we did have an extra Science class. Today we talked about how to sort objects. We discovered we can sort object by size, color, or shape. We then did an experiment to sort objects by whether or not they float. We found out that a plastic circle shape, a pencil grip, and linking cube floats. An Army man, dice, paper clip, bean, and chalk sink. We sure enjoyed playing with the water!
Just a reminder that the students will not have gym class tomorrow because of the Christmas program. Please continue to read their library book with them. All students will need to take a test by Friday.
