First Grade: Day 16

I forgot to mention yesterday; that the class had their first science experiment (again; reminder to take the camera to class)! Isabel was very excited to tell me all about it! Sounds like fun.

The focus of the experiment was states of matter; solid, liquid and gas. They used antacid tabs in water to observe different states of matter.

Her worksheets from the science experiment.
Below is the Bible verse connection for this experiment…

“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right had of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appear, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4

Today however is Wonderful Wednesday! Today is music class with Mr. G.

For music class today, they listened to an Elmo CD. Elmo played a game with the kids, were they had to listen to sounds and then tell Mr. G what that sound was. Isabel said at one point they even got to be the conductor! That was really fun! Afterward they used rhythm sticks, she said she used her sticks like a violin and other instruments.

Teacher Mrs. B finished their lunch time book series today by author Stephen Cosgrove from the “Land of Barely There“.

The school had their first earthquake drill. Isabel said she was able to get quickly under her desk for the practice.

For math they worked with Geoboards making different shapes; equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, rectangles, squares, and numbers. Great early introduction to Geometry!

Great spelling/writing exercise.

Sentence writing.

Decide which word works best and sentence building.
This is great! I have begun to notice her using punctuation more and more.
