Writing Reviews

Review writers have a big job to do. They go watch movies, eat at restaurants, play games and read books too. After that they write their opinion about them and even try to convince us.
Students in 1B are learning how to write reviews. They plan, write, give reasons and examples to be more convincing. 

I look forward to their completed pieces reviewing; a hotel in Paris, a trip to the Maldives, best pizza in Riyadh, a motorcycle show in Dubai, also comparing two fast food restaurants to name a few!!





In Words Their Way, we started a new sort and recognized the spelling pattern.

In Math, we explored balance using a pan balance..

In STEM, we learned that a parachute uses air resistance and wrote about it.

Ms. Cherry taught us a Mandarin song, it was not EASY!!!

Welcome Back

A big welcome back to all parents and students. We had an exciting first week sharing highlights of our winter break and also catching up on skills taught in Literacy, Math, STEM and Social studies.

We have missed reading independently...

As partners......

Also in threes.....

We learned a new skill! How to find answers to the comprehension questions by searching and finding evidence in the text.

In STEM, we learned that soap bubbles helps use determine the direction of the wind now that we know the four cardinal directions!

In social studies, maps help us locate things and places. We started 
drawing a map of our playground adding a KEY. 

BUSY BEES IN 1B

This week we used our big voices and expressed our opinion in writing workshop. First we had to judge our collection and think about our favorite item. Then we gave reasons and examples to support our opinion.

           In guided reading it was STORY RETELLING TIME!

 .        Math was all about measuring using a tape measure......

In STEM, we are learning about AIR and WEATHER. Air can do so many things we discovered!

   A little bit of partner reading is quite fun during Library time!

WRITING CELEBRATION IN 1B

The day has arrived and we got to share our hard work!

       

In Math, we learned how to use non-standard units of measurement like our arm span to measure how wide the board is.

 

                                                                             

                                                                                

Our number grid scrolls are getting longer........

                                                                              

 STEM was super cool, we took our twirlers and tested them on the playground.

                                                                                   

                                                                       

    Girl power!!!

A Week Packed With Action and Events

                                                         Awww!!! No recess........

Ms. Shuroug the Islamic teacher taught us prayers to say during the rain. We held our hands and prayed in silence.

Math is about numbers. How far can you count on the number grid? Some of us are already at 300!
