Troubleshooting

Dear Parents,

Please access the blog via https://mlsgr1b.blogspot.com/. Kindly do not try to access the blog for class 1A as Ms. Alison cannot resolve the issues for class 1B.

Link to documents

We have now sent you a link to a folder on the drive to make it easier for you to access and download documents. Kindly ensure you have Adobe Reader on your computer or iPad. 

Download and print with Adobe Reader

Please print off the documents, as the students will then write on them in pencil and erase as they try to solve the problem with different strategies. The strategy they employ is very important, as it is this thinking process that leads to learning. Should your child just write an answer please ask them how they arrived at this answer.

The links we have put in for ABCYA can be accessed by computers, but if you are using an iPad you need to download the app and create an account. Make sure you choose grade 1 then numbers and then find the game.

Recording on Raz-Kids

If you are unable to record on Raz-Kids, please be sure to allow microphone in your settings.

Counseling, a message from Ms. Suad

What an exciting week we had in 1B! Realistic fiction, butterflies and concert practice to name a few.

Our writing muscles are growing bigger and bigger. We took our pretend characters on adventures and gave them problems to solve. Finally, there was a happy ending after all.

                  Sharing our stories was a proud moment...

In math; we measured using a long, used shapes to show fractions and solved "What's my rule" problems...


   

  

STEM was about the water cycle and the life cycle of a butterfly.

We observed a real caterpillar in class going through the stages.

What a treat to see it break the pupa open and fly away.

More fun in Mandarin.... and by the way our song is coming along nicely!

Social Studies and Peace, how can we sow the seeds to grow peace around the world? What will it take?

All preparations are under way for the big day! Students in grade 1B are practicing to be their best on stage. Meanwhile, it's back to working on a new sort in Words Their Way.

In Math, we learned about the relationship between addition and subtraction. Three numbers can be associated with any domino-the number of dots on each half of the domino and the total number of dots. These three numbers in turn are used to generate a fact family, consisting of two addition and two subtraction facts.

In STEM, we explored the phases of the moon and learned that the new moon is not visible and dark, whereas the full moon shines like a globe and is big and round! 

Amazing Fitness Week !

The past week at MLS was all about healthy bodies and healthy minds. We started each day with a special activity that set the tone for the whole day.

 We practiced our poem for the big day!

                                         

We started a new sort and completed all the activities that go with it.....

                                

In Math, we compared weight of different animal and learned to use relation symbols, < > =

                               

                                   

Finally, some quiet reading time in the library....
