I'm so sorry I've gotten behind on this blog! First grade is a busy place :)
Ok so Week 8 was great!!!
We started working on addition in math! We did a partner project with unifix cubes to show related addition facts. The students picked an addition sentence and had to build it together.
They wrote it down and then switched the addends and built it again!
The point was to illustrate that it does not matter which order the addends are in for addition, you will get the same sum both ways. It also taught us that these are called "related addition facts." We shared our findings after we did our partner work!
Wednesday was an exciting and busy day for us! We had our pictures taken in the morning and then had a special visitor from ACC Water Conservation - Ms. Laurie Loftin!
Laurie came to remind us about how special water is and what a gift it is to us (going along with our Religion lessons about God's gift's)!
She had some really great lessons about keeping water safe, respecting it, using it wisely and a wonderful (DELICIOUS) demonstration about how we use water every day and sometimes don't even think about it! She brought in uncooked pasta, jello powder, grapes, and hot chocolate mix. She presented it to the kids and asked who would like to eat it! (A few brave souls DID try a raw noodle) :)
The kids had to figure out what they needed to make all of these yummy things they eat taste better - WATER!!! When we returned from pictures, Ms. Laurie had a delicious snack all ready for us, and all because of water :)
At the end of the day, we got to go to the Fall Festival T-shirt reveal announcement! Not only did we enjoy it, we found out that we guessed the correct color! WOOOOOO!
