Graphing, Fun Run and Robotics

As a positive incentive for the students who follow directions and are always making the right choices, they got to go do Robotics with Mrs. Neill during our computer lab time this week.

We wrapped up our unit on graphing this week. We worked on creating bar graphs, pictographs and tally graphs. This week I wanted the students to generate their own questions based on the graphs. Some questions that they could have asked were:

Which one had the most?

Which one had the least?

Which one had more? ______ or _______?

How many more did _____ have than ______?

Were there any that had equal amounts?

Here is a graph we created as a class based on the month we were born in.

My class wrote their monthly Vietnamese writing that we are going to add to their first grade books. Mrs. Skalaban’s class didn’t have enough time Friday. We wrote about people we love since February is the month of love.

 The Fun Run officially kicked off this week and will continue into next week. We have had some students who have received multiple prizes this week from the Fun Run. Here is a picture of our class flag we will be proudly waving when we actually do the run this upcoming week.

In VLA, we have been practicing words with TH and NH blends. We will have our test this Friday.

We received our new class pet on Wednesday. He is a lizard hiding in the log.

Please check your child’s folder for a dance permission slip. First grade does a folk dance every year in the cafeteria and gym. This year, it will be on March 7^th at 6:30PM. The kids are asked to wear their tye-die shirts and denim bottoms.

Also, at the end of the month, we will go on our Junie B. Jones field trip. More info will be sent home later in March.
