Today we have officially started our Go Math! curriculum. Our unit is Two-Dimensional Geometry. Everyone had a great time getting to use their brand new workbook. Today we just focused on accessing prior knowledge. Tomorrow we will begin using attributes to sort 2-D shapes.
In reading our focus was on learning phonics/decoding strategies. We practiced by reading "My Best Friend" by Pat Hutchins. After reading we worked a little on retelling the story. Mainly looking at being able to recall events that occurred during the middle and end of the story. We continued the "best friend" theme and read "YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND!" by Peter Brown later in the day.
We also read "Miss Mingo and the Fire Drill" by Jamie Harper and made a point to practice our own emergency procedures. The students did a great job. What a great second day of first grade!!
Some of our favorite things about today!
Keira's favorite thing was "Being able to color in my math book.".
Keiar's favorite thing was "Doing math.".
Martha's favorite thing was "Finding were the shapes were supposed to go.".
Mark's favorite thing was "Playing with puppets in Health.".
Liliana's favorite thing was "Making new friends at recess.".
