We listened to the folktale Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We took a dictation test on words with short-vowel 'o'.We read a non-fiction story about baby animals. We also read the poem: Down in the Meadow, for which we discovered the rhythm of the poem and then used rhythm instruments to play along with our choral reading.
We took Topic 6 math test. Results can not be posted at this time due to the number of students with incomplete items on their test. It was our longest test to date and probably one of the more difficult. One concept which some students understandably struggle with in first grade is comparing dissimilar equalities, for example in the expression 6 + 3 = ___ + 5. Another past struggle seems to be with matching an expression with a value. For example: which of these express the same value as 12: 8 - 4, 8 + 4, or 9 + 4. We will be working on some these more difficult ideas next week in preparation for the district math exam.
