Halfway Through First Grade! (Week 20)

Our class wrote a persuasive letter to Ms. Honan asking for a spiderweb dome (geodome) structure on our playground.  Ms. Honan's response was hopeful and students started researching sizes and heights of different domes that would be safe for 5-7 year olds.  They will present their research to Ms. Honan and might possibly convince her to add a fun new way to exercise and move on the playground!
In math we've started learning about telling time to the hour.  Students made their own clocks with only hour hands to practice making different times.  Here are some familiar phrases that you can use at home when talking about time:

" About ___ o'clock"
"Half past ___ o'clock"
"Almost ___ o'clock"
