One of our math centers this week was building addition math facts using flash cards and unifix cubes. Students worked with a partner or in a small group and made towers to match their unifix cubes. It was a very popular center!
Another center this week was called Three Towers from the Investigations Math Program. This center worked on counting, adding, and writing addition equations. Our games on the BrightLink this week were Fruit Shoot Addition and Ballon Pop Skip Count By 5's.
We have been working on skip counting in first grade. This week we really focused on counting by 5's. One of our favorite class activities is singing and dancing along with our skip counting music videos.
Here is the Counting By Fives video if you would like to watch it! We have also practiced counting by 2's and 10's.
We are continuing to work on writing our Small Moments. We focused on making sure our stories have a beginning, middle, and end. We filled out a graphic organizer to help us determine the beginning, middle, and end of one of our stories.
Our new words added to our Word Wall this week were has, as, and his.
