School for the Deaf - 1st and 2nd grades
The 1st and 2nd grade class this year, in the School for the Deaf, is starting off shooting for the stars!!!! After a few weeks of assessments and getting to know each other, students are getting right back into the swing of things. In math class they are reviewing counting and skip counting. They have been playing games like race to 100 and working together to skip count to solve mazes. For literacy, our class has been exploring the solar system. We are looking at non-fiction text features and making connections to the materials they are learning about. They are reading books about the planets, sun, moon and stars. In the coming weeks we will be making some fun crafts for the phases of the moon and learning more about astronauts and their jobs. This past week we made hats of the planets and the order they occur in the solar system. Students thought it was so funny that the solar system was bigger than their heads because their hats kept falling off their heads!
