Week 3 - Sensing our World

First Grade got busy using their senses on a walk around the school. We thought about ways to record and describe what we sensed.


We were lucky to find basil and rosemary growing so we could think about how they smell and taste!


In arts, we used our sense of sight to do a still life drawing like the painter Paul Cézanne. We will add paint next week.


In literacy we had a very special visitor to help us roll our our literacy centers where we each practice skills that are just right for us. 


In maths we thought about combinations of ten using more than two addends by playing Game of Totals. In this game we have an opportunity to count, add, keep track of totals, and use visuals to see the sum. We considered what quantities we will need to reach a total of 10. We are still considering how to create a strategy to reach ten before our partner. Ask us how to play! Make sure you only pick from the numbers 1, 2, and 3.


Have a great weekend!
