A Camping We Will GO!

We arrived at school on Monday to find our room had been transformed into a campsite!

We listened to Mrs. Wanke read us a campfire story.  Then, we each got to share the campfire stories we wrote!

We wrote How to Make S'mores, then we tested out our directions to see if we could actually make a S'more.  They, were SOOO yummy!

We did some fun campfire centers. 

Sorting Words

Building Camp Items

Playing a camping addition game

Walking around the Room to Unscramble Camp Words

We had so much fun camping out in first grade!

Fun Week of Learning

We had a lot of fun this week celebrating Dr. Seuss, learning about non-fiction text features, and comparing numbers.  

On Friday, all the first graders got together to taste test some green eggs and ham.  We had some mixed reviews and not all were interested in sampling.  

What is this taste in my mouth?

Yummy!

We have worked really hard at locating and naming different text features in non-fiction text.  On Thursday, we had to walk around the cafeteria looking at different pages of a non-fiction frog book.  We then had to write down what text feature the arrow was pointing to on that particular page. 

Look a caption!

Olaf knows her text features!

We also worked on comparing numbers by using the greater than and less than symbols.  We though it was more fun to use people to create these symbols rather than just drawing them. 

66 is less than 84.
