Catching up!

I apologize for the delay in posts!! I thought these posted a while ago and I just noticed it didn't publish! I'll take lots of pictures this week to make up for it. 

Below you will see they created candy corn numbers with the place value representations. We are now comparing numbers(greater than/less than) using place value. If you are confused by any math homework sent home, don't hesitate to ever email me(or text me on remind)with questions. I'm happy to explain and totally understand that even though its first grade math it may be different than how you learned it in elementary school!

To wrap up the opinion writing unit, they wrote about what they would be like if they were a witch. I prompted them with "use your imagination to pretend you are a good witch and had powers to make the world better." They had to use their opinion to write about what they feel would be most important to use their powers on.

We just began our "how to" writing unit. Today they had to work in a group to write the steps to create a PB&J sandwich. After sharing out, they realized the importance of not leaving out ingredients or missing any steps. We will look at a variety of how to samples and they will begin to create their own. I'm looking forward to their thanksgiving how tos! They include; how to disguise a turkey, how to convince your parents you can have pizza on thanksgiving, how to help a turkey escape, and many more creative  prompts!
