ISB Grade 1

In our sixth unit of study in Math, we will return to number sense. This unit is called Number Games and Crayon Puzzles. We will be working on mathematical ideas such as composing numbers with two or three addends and solving addition and subtraction problems.

Throughout this unit, students will be working toward the following goals:
-Find at least five 2-addend combinations of 10.
-Combine two small quantities by counting on.
-Interpret (retell the action and sequence) and solve addition and subtraction story problems.
-Subtract one small quantity from another.

We are learning about measurement.  We are learning how to make accurate measurements and how different units can be used to measure objects.

We invited our parents to show off how much we have grown as writers and how much we have learned about revision.

Classes are working on a new unit in mathematics called What Would You Rather Be? This unit is about data—the facts or information we collect about people and things in our world. Students will be sorting objects and information, posing questions, collecting data, and making representations of the data they collect.

Sorting Rocks
Students were equipped with various geologists tools as they began to sort rocks of different sizes. They are investigating how rocks can be sorted by size and learning to record their observations in their science notebooks.

Room 104 was lucky to have some fun loving parents put together some activities for our students to celebrate Halloween together. We listened to some Halloween stories; did some geometry with pumpkins and shapes; and decorated some yummy cookies.
