First Grade Math Vocabulary

Students are working to acquire skills and strategies using spelling vocabulary (like triple-consonant beginnings in words, /thr/; word families are becoming more complex as new two-syllable vocabulary is introduced; higher level comprehension skills are required in reading and thinking about texts read; in Math, numbers and operations, algebraic concepts (analyzing numeric patterns, translating those patterns into rules, etc.) and measurement (using whole-inch units to measure length of objects) are being introduced and taught; and we are moving ahead after intense study of plants, although students will continue to keep a journal, making daily entries of observation of plant growth after having planted one variety of seed (will also continue to plant other varieties and compare and contrast and inquire more about). Students are learning about the educational aspects of IPad use, having fun while being very engaged! Allston Leggette's mom )who is in the Army) graced us with a visit for Veteran's Day, making a brief speech and presenting students with military lanyards and mini American flags. Thanks so much for all you and all other military service members do to keep our nation safe and free!!! Congratulations to Ariyana Dunlap for her strong showing of positive character traits to be Student of the Week this past week. Way to go Ariyana!!!

Saturday, November 5, 2011 What a wonderful week at The Academy of Hope last week as 1st graders experimented with planting white carnations in different colors of water (food coloring added) to see the outcomes. Unexpectedly, by Friday, the ones in purple water had not changed color; the ones in green water had barely changed. However, the celery put in purple and green cups of water had changed. Carnations placed in red and blue cups of water really changed. Students also read about plants and their parts and watched Discovery Education Streaming video of plants, their uses, and their parts. Congratulations to Student of the Week Ga'Miracle Manner!!! Way to go, you smart girl! Past Students of the Week include Allston Leggett, Kaden Harrill, Sha'Nya Lewis, Jaiya Johnson and Stacy McCray. Way to go, guys!!! Students of the Week are selected based upon scholarly, individual and personal merit, including positive character, determination and perseverance.
