A big part of first grade is identifying the main topic & key details in informational text. I used this pizza analogy to help the kids understand that the main topic is the whole pizza and the key details are the individual toppings. I think they got it! After showing the kids a video about George Washington, I had every one write one key detail they learned from the video. They placed their key details on our Parking Lot.
Animal Report Update | The goal is for the animal reports to be completed by the end of February. I think we'll make it...cross your fingers!!! |
Here's What's Coming Up Next... | In math, we continue to work with tens & ones. The kids draw pictures in order to solve story problems. Make sure your child draws pictures when solving problems on his/her homework, too! |
