Mr. Bouchard has been running groups about coding during math menu.  Every student had a chance to participate and they are continuing to work on their coding skills during math menu in the classroom.  Students may now work on their coding skills at home by clicking on this link:Coding Fun

Students have also been asking for these links at home: 
ABCYA for math fun- We have tried almost all of the first grade math games!
Go Noodle for JAMS-  You will have to set up your own account but it is so much fun!
Spelling City-  If you search henault under teacher you can find our word lists!

Students worked on revising and editing their writing pieces.

We had Four Winds about deer.  We loved the puppet show!

We played a math game called Ten Turns.

This morning the class worked together to line up in alphabetical. Once the class was in line, we sent a morning greeting down the line.

We did a new brain break on gonoodle.  It was to a Kidz Bop song! 

In word study, we have been working on adding endings to words.  The three endings we have been working on are -s, -Ed, and -ing.  

In writing, students selected the realistic fiction story they would like to publish.  Next week we will work on editing and revising our pieces.

Checking out our Valentine's Day cards.

Week of February 1st, 2015

We have competed another force and motion experiment.  This time we focused on the question: will a light ball or a heavy ball roll further off the ramp?  The ball was our variable for this experiment.  Students had to write a hypothesis, perform the experiment, measure the distance with Popsicle sticks, record their data, and write a conclusion. We all learned that a heavy ball will roll further than a light ball.

We have been working really hard on our realistic fiction stories.  We celebrated by doing a quick edit of one of our stories and sharing it with a buddy!  We are also working on giving our buddies kind and specific compliments. 

Happy 100th day of school!  We did some writing using the number 100.  Then we had to guess who the paper belonged to!

Students may bring in Valentine's Day cards next Friday, but they must bring one in for everyone!

Buddy Reading!

We have become experts in buddy reading!
