Measurement
Students learned the "rules" of measurement this month! We loved using different units to find the length of classroom objects. We discovered how it takes more smaller units to fill the space than larger units!
Nonfiction Reading
Nonfiction readers read to learn!
We explored nonfiction texts much more deeply over the past few weeks.
Here are some strategies we know:
Take a sneak peek to start start learning
Chat about a book or page
Stop and study each page
Find and think about keywords
Make your voice sound lively and smooth
Guess what might come next!
Make sure to read nonfiction and fiction books with your students!
Martin Luther King Jr.
Students explored the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this month.
We watched and discussed his famous, "I have a dream" speech, performed a song with our entire first grade, and made these beautiful posters of Martin surrounded by his powerful words.
Sound
Scientists in 1L have begun our Physical Science unit on Sound.
We became sound effect engineers, mimicking the sounds of real life things.
We were inspired by these Disney animators.
We could grow up to do real jobs like them!
The Acton Discovery Museum joined us and led us in experiments that helped us to discover how different vibrations make sounds.
Continue to have conversations about these topics with your children. It was a great month filled with wonderful learning experiences!
Love,
Mrs. L
