Mrs. McClurg’s First Grade
October 9-20, 2023
Weeks 7 and 8
Concepts Covered This Week:
Religion:
- We listened to the parable of the man and his vineyard.
- We learned that God reveals his loving plan to us.
- We discussed ways that we can know and love God.
- We participated in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. We looked around the church for ways God revels his love to us.
Language Arts:
- We practiced the correct formation of all letters. We also practiced writing the beginning, medial and final consonants in words.
- We began to long at 3-4 letter word with the short a sound.
- We practiced reading stories with high frequency sight words.
- We used these words to write sentences about the stories, often adding personal touches.
- We identified the characters and setting in many picture books.
- We made predictions of things that could happen in our read aloud stories.
Math:
- We identified and practiced using the math vocabulary words; whole, part, sum, addend, plus and equals.
- We used blocks and pictures to solve addition problems.
- We learned to pick out the important information from math problems with words.
- We learned that you could change the order of the addends and still have the same answer- The communitive property of addition.
- We counted to 37 with coins by using dimes and pennies.
Social Studies/Science:
- We continued to use helpful thought to help us get better at new things we want to learn.
- We learned that trees have parts that act like superpowers to protect them from the wind. These parts are deep roots, bending branches and trunks and leaves that move separately.
- We used this information to draw a protype(picture) then a model of a beach umbrella that will not blow down with a strong wind.
- We compared and contrasted baby owls and bats.
Specialist Classes- Physical Education/Art/Music/Spanish/Library:
- In art we created textured Frankenstein head with meticulous care. We utilized burlap fabric, to add depth and character and to bring the iconic creature to life. In the background, we composed the scene, employing the fundamental elements of art, particularly focusing on lines.
- In music we sang a scale, explored ascending and descending pitches on xylophone. We also listened to and added sound effects to The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything
- In Spanish we practiced numbers 1-20. We even applied our knowledge by writing addition sentences in Spanish! We’re also having fun playing a game called Señora Dice to learn classroom vocabulary.
- In physical education we learned how to underhand throw and catch various sized bean bags and balls, practiced the underhand throw and catch to self and to the wall and played a game called “Clean Up the Backyard” using our underhand throw.
- In library we listened to a seasonal story and checked out books of personal interest.
