***********Everyone, I need to ask you to please check your SCIENCE textbooks. I believe mine may have gone home with one of the students. There is no number on the teacher text but you can tell it belongs to me because it is without any writing inside.

If you do find it, PLEASE bring it to school TOMORROW.

Thank you for your help,
See you tomorrow munchkins

Tuesday May 27, 2014

Good afternoon,

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LOVELY LITTLE KAITLYN AND EDEN! And a big THANK YOU to their mommies for bringing in treats for everyone to share.

I sent everyone home with a yellow sheet of paper from Wilsoni's mother. Some parents have suggested creating a contact list with the other parents in Grade 1. Feel free to fill in the information and return it asap.

Please note! My email address is written incorrectly on the paper.
The CORRECT email address is: ashleydawn.fisher@gmail.com
=)

Please remember that tomorrow is graduation and all students must come in their PROPER SCHOOL UNIFORM. They may bring their P.E. clothes to change into afterwards.

See you then!

Monday May 26, 2014

First and foremost I just want to say a big THANK YOU to all the parents and siblings who came out for our little class party this afternoon. I feel so grateful to have met all of you and been graced with your support this year. You have all had an important part in making this year what it was. =)

• Tomorrow afternoon, beginning after afternoon break at 2:45, we will be celebrating Eden and Kaitlyn's birthdays. Feel free to join us!

• You are cordially invited to the K2 and Grade 5 Graduation and Whole School Recognition this Wednesday May 28 beginning at 10:00am. A gentle reminder that all students MUST wear their proper school uniforms on Wednesday 05/28. They are welcome to change into their P.E. clothes afterwards if they like.

END OF YEAR CLASS PARTY

Hi everyone,

I noticed I wrote 1:30pm for the time of the class party but it will actually be from 2:30-3:30pm! If you want to bring in any toys, food, games, etc, you are more than welcome. Also if you want to take children home at 3:30 instead of waiting until 4 that is fine as well.

Hope to see you all this afternoon!

Friday May 23, 2014

Hi all,

We had a most lovely end of year Mass today. Thank you to all parents who were able to make it out and a big THANK YOU to our students who were very well behaved again.

4th Quarter Exam Review for Science

4th Quarter Exam Review for Science
Unit 5 Environments

• Students must understand the difference between the five environments we learned about this year (ocean, arctic and alpine tundras, desert, prairies, rain forest) (Science text pages 176-181)
•  know the correct sequence of steps for the scientific process 

           1. question 2. research 3. hypothesis 4. experiment 5. conclusion

• Understand the basic concept of a food chain. 1. The grass uses the sun to make food.--> 2. The cricket east the grass. --> 3. The toad eats the cricket. (Science text page 182-183)
• Understand the meaning of the following vocabulary words:                                    Environment, Shelter, Food chain, Desert, Arctic Tundra, Alpine Tundra, Ocean, Rain Forest, Prairie   

4th Quarter Exam Review for LANGUAGE AND SPELLING

4th Quarter Exam Review in Language and Spelling (Monday May 19)

• Write names and titles correctly. Example: ms fisher = Ms. Fisher (English text page 221)
• Pronoun-verb agreement. Example: Kaitlyn and Jeffery (play/plays) play UNO together. (English text page 123)
• Words that mean the same (synonyms). Change the underlined words, using the list of words given. 
  Rewrite the sentence on the line. Example: I was glad to see my friend. I was happy to see my friend. (English text page 77-78)                                    
• (English text page 100-102) Students will need to write a short personal narrative. Personal narratives are real stories about your life. They will need to answer the questions, WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN.                  

• WHO: Who is in your story? For example, My mother, father, and I.                                    WHERE, WHEN: Last summer it was very hot so my family and I went to the beach for one week.                                                                                                                                   WHAT:

First, I felt too hot to play outside and so I was very bored. 

Then, I asked my mother if we could go swimming and she thought it was a good idea. Last, we drove for an hour to the beach and I played in the sand and went swimming. I felt very happy and cool.

• Most marks for this exam will come from the personal narrative. Feel free to practice your narratives at home. What I am looking for is that students can tell a story in the correct sequence of events and do their best to write in full sentences with capital letters and proper end marks.

Tuesday May 13, 2014

Hi everyone,

It's been a hectic couple of days. As you all know by now, the school has closed Grade 1 for the week because of two confirmed cases of the entirovirus and many other students who are experiencing symptoms as well as myself. This means that all minor subject exams (Chinese, Computer, PE, and Health) will all be cancelled. Students will do their Music exams on Tuesday as it is only a performance exam, not a written exam.

As for major subject exams, these were supposed to take place on Friday May 16-Tuesday May 20. Since students will not be at school on Friday 05/16 students will follow the following revised schedule:

Monday May 19 (students dismissed at 12pm without lunch)
Language and Spelling
Math

Tuesday May 20 (students dismissed at 12pm without lunch)
Reading 
Phonics

Wednesday May 21 (regular school day)
Science
Social Studies

***Some lovely parents had talked with me about holding a class party on Friday May 16. May I suggest rescheduling that until the following Friday May 23. Hopefully by then we will all be together and healthy again =)

Friday May 9, 2014

Hi everyone,

We had a busy and productive week at school.  Thank you for your hard work Grade 1!

• I am starting to send students home with their art supplies. They do not need to bring them back to school.

• Next Monday May 12 will be our last spelling test of the school year!

• Homework: Social Studies page 48 Time Line

 Important Exam Information

Fourth quarter exams will run from Friday May 16-Tuesday May 20.  Students will write 2 major subject exams each day. This will give them more time to write each test should they need it. Keeping in mind that some students won't need the extra time, I encourage them to bring in books to read once they finish writing exams. 

Friday May 16 (exams will take place in the morning and students will have regular classes the rest of the day)

Hello everyone,

Some students still need to get their personal narratives signed. Please make sure to do that, along with any corrections, and return them no later than tomorrow.

Math Homework: Page 63
**Please try to do this by yourself. It is a new unit and I want to see how much students understood from today`s introduction. 

Monday May 5, 2014

Good morning everyone,

I'm sorry for not posting last weeks spelling words. The internet at school hasn't been working well and so my access to the blog has been sporadic. Everyone did a great job on the test though! We continue to practice each weeks words daily.Please sign the spelling tests and return them tomorrow.

Here are the words for next week:

Sure 

Watch

Color

Face

Wood

Main

Remain

Enough 

Students had to write a personal narrative over the weekend for their homework. Some students were eager to share their stories with the class. =)

I have marked all of their work and returned it with some feedback. Please take a look and sign them and return them to school tomorrow. Students who need to redo or fix their work need to do that tonight and hand it in tomorrow. Remember to write in full sentences and add as many details and adjectives as you can.

 

Our Kindness Stars are Grace and Benson. Grace has been doing a great job taking responsibility and working to keep our classroom clean and organized. Benson has been looking out for his classmates and helping them whenever he can. Way to go! Keep up the good work!

Friday May 2, 2014

Grade 1 Music Final Examination May 14
No written test. Students will be tested in Recorder performance:

Old McDonald
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Row Row Row Your Boat
Mulberry Bush

Thanks for a great week everyone. Today we spent the morning working on personal narratives and learning how to use a dictionary. For Christian Living class we watched a movie about the story of Jesus together with the Grade 5 class.

For homework students have to complete a Personal Narrative Graphic Organizer. If they don't know how to spell a word they want to use I encourage them to try looking it up in the dictionary. The boxes called Sensory Details are for students to add details and adjectives about their story.

Have a GREAT weekend!

Wednesday April 30, 2014

Hi all,

We had a great day today. This morning we focused on Phonics and after lunch we helped each other correct some addition and subtraction review pages. Following, I gave students a two page Unit Test to work on. They all did fantastic including a few students who got 100%! Way to go!

In Social Studies we talked about festivals of culture and looked up photos to see what food and clothing looked like around the world. It was interesting to compare and contrast with what we know in Taiwan. =)

In Science we talked about forest rangers.

Just a reminder that we have library tomorrow so students should bring back their books so they can exchange them for new ones.

Tuesday April 30, 2014

Hi all, 

Happy Tuesday everyone!

We had some fun reading this morning and had an extended math period after lunch. I gave students a chunk of review pages to work on individually to finish up the unit. I have marked all of them and am overall very impressed with their understanding. Good job Grade 1's!

No homework tonight. They worked very hard in math and science this afternoon so I think they deserve a night off. :)

Enjoy!

Friday April 25, 2014

We made it! Congratulations Grade 1's you have successfully completed your first Science Fair! I am SO proud of all you. Thank you for all of your hard work and patience, I know it has been a long and busy week. Enjoy your weekend and get lots of rest and play time. I handed out a Science Fair Reflection sheet for homework. Please do your best to complete it by Monday.

Sorry everyone, in all the Science Fair excitement I forgot to post the spelling words for next week. We have been practicing them every morning in class though so they should be fine for the test on Monday 04/28.

Hello all,

We had another successful Science Fair experience today. I am so impressed with our Grade 1 students. They have been eager to share their projects with others and during downtime at the fair I am happy to say they were very well behaved. Great job!

We had a busy afternoon learning about more likely, less likely, and equally likely in our probability chapter of Math. During Library we took out new books and some of us read a book about Rosa Parks together. During Science we talked about Prairie environments and compared them with Arctic and Alpine tundras. During Pastoral Care, we were all a little tired from the long day so we watched an episode of The Magic School Bus and ate snack before heading home.

Homework tonight is just to continue practicing the oral presentation component of the Science Fair and get a good rest! Looking forward to seeing you all again tomorrow. 

Wednesday April 23, 2014

Today was the first day of the Science Fair where students set up their stations and showed their projects off to other members of DISK. Tomorrow we will open up the fair to parents and guests. Please feel free to join us from 10:00-11:30am.

Thursday April 10, 2014

This morning we used graphic organizers to help us sort through our ideas for our story. We completed a character map, a conflict map, and a resolution map. The students continued to offer great ideas with enthusiasm. We watched a video of lanterns being set off into the sky and tried to imagine what it would feel like to come to Taiwan and see this for the first time. Some of the adjectives the students came up with were, "magical, amazing, exciting, cool, and beautiful."

In the afternoon Mr.Chang and I spoke with the rest of the students about their Science Fair Projects. I love their enthusiasm! =)

We will have some special school activities tomorrow afternoon so we are asking students to bring a small treasure of theirs. Nothing too expensive or valuable but something small that means something to them. =)

Homework English Page 67

Wednesday April 9, 2014

We had a great morning.

In Reading we started a new story about a caterpillar. We prepared for the story by learning some new vocabulary words. The students picked one of the words out of a bag, read it aloud, and then made a sentence with that word. I then wrote sentences on the board and students had to decide which vocabulary word to fill in the blank.

In Language class we have started to learn about the writing process. We are very excited to start writing a class story. During step 1, prewriting, we planned our writing. We brainstormed ideas about what our story could be about and then voted to make our final decisions. We have decided to focus on culture, since that is what we have been learning about in Social Studies. We will write a story about a boy named Ben who moves from Canada to Taiwan and joins the Grade 1 class at DISK. We will explore his transition into a new culture. The students were SO enthusiastic coming up with ideas and celebrating when their favorite ideas received the most votes. I think we will have a lot of fun with this project!

This afternoon we continued to talk about fractions focusing 1/2 and 1/4.

Later, Mr.Chang came to our class to talk to the students about what to expect for the Science Fair. Afterwards, him and I split up to conference with students about their projects. Basically we were just looking to see that they had a good understanding of their projects and would be able to explain them at the fair. So far so good! Thanks for all your hard work everyone! (Any student who did not have a chance to speak with Mr.Chang or myself today will get a chance tomorrow =) )

The display boards must be ready to bring to school after the break next week. On Monday April 21, 2014 we will be practicing the oral presentation part of the projects. Please bring them in by 04/21 at the latest. I know how hard everyone has been working so thank you so much for your support!

Math Homework Page 58-59

Wednesday April 9, 2014

Hi everyone,

We had an incredibly busy day at school today. For homework, students need to finish their Whistle for Willie handout. We have gone over all of the questions in class so they should be fine to do it on their own. 

Have a great night and see you all tomorrow!

Monday April 7, 2014

Important SCIENCE FAIR information:

Below I have posted a picture of the sticker which comes along with the standard poster board that you can find at any 9x9 stationary shop. It has a dimension of 60 x 100 cm, and I think it is easier to use this as a standard size for our projects.

Depending on the amount of material needed to be displayed, students can purchase three boards and assemble them together (see the other image of the Mars Project for a general idea). Some students may only need two boards, and can cut one of the two boards in half to use as the "wings". In short, let's set the official limit to the size of three boards (not exceeding 180 x 100 cm). For those who have already started with their boards- don't worry about it.

The science fair is coming up very soon. We have this week to help finalize ideas/conduct experiments/answer questions/etc. Hopefully by the time the students come back from the holiday, we can help them practice for their oral presentation.

Tuesday April 1, 2014

Hi everyone,

Please be sure to take a look at the previous post as there is a ton of important Science Fair information. For the rest of this week students should finalize their hypothesis and do their experiment. They need to record their hypothesis, procedure, materials used, and their observation of what happens during their experiment. Takes lots of pictures to decorate your boards!
**I sent the science booklet home with students today. Please send them back on Monday April 7 =)

Journeys Reading Homework Page 104-105 (All students, except those who are away, have already completed page 104.)

Tips for 105:

CAUSE 1. Peter wished he could whistle. EFFECT 1. Because he saw a dog run to a boy when he whistled.
*Please complete 2 more of your own cause and effects from the story.

Important Note: Christian Living 4th Quarter exam will take place next Tuesday April 8 because Father Prudencio will be out of the country for the rest of the school year.

I hope you all have a wonderful week off and enjoy lots of sunshine and rest and play! Remember to HAVE FUN doing your Science experiments and take lots of photos. I can't wait to hear all about it on Monday. =)

April 1 SCIENCE FAIR INFORMATION

Hi everyone,

IMPORTANT SCIENCE FAIR INFORMATION

The Science Fair is quickly approaching. During the next few days off, please get together in your groups and do your experiment. You should take some photos of the process (to put on your display board) and keep a record of what you observe.

The Scientific Method
1. Ask a Question
2. Research your Topic
3. STATE YOUR HYPOTHESIS
4. TEST YOUR HYPOTHESIS

Currently we are on steps 3 and 4 of the Scientific Method. Today I worked with students to help them work out their hypothesis for their project. You may need to go over this with them. After they have a clear hypothesis, they are ready to put on their scientist hats and do their experiment! Make sure to write out all the steps involved in your experiment. This will be your Procedure and it will need to go on your display board.

Reminder:
Your display board must have the following sections:
Question
Hypothesis
Materials Used
Procedure
Results/Observations
Conclusion (what you learned)
+ photos of your experiment, before, during, and after is best.

Hypothesis Tips:

• A hypothesis is an educated guess about how things work.

• Most of the time a hypothesis is written like this: "If _____[I do this] _____, then _____[this]_____ will happen." (Fill in the blanks with the appropriate information from your own experiment.)

• Your hypothesis should be something that you can actually test, what's called a testable hypothesis. In other words, you need to be able to measure both "what you do" and "what will happen."

*http://www.sciencebuddies.org/ is a great resource to help. It is definitely beyond our Grade 1 reading and comprehension level, however, so you will need to help them.

For example, for the experiment we did in our own class, our hypothesis could have been:

If I give a plant water and air, but no sun, then it will still grow tall and healthy.

Procedure

This is an example of the procedure for our class experiment. Yours should show all the steps from the start to finish of your experiment.

1. Fill 4 cups with soil.

2. Put 2 seeds into each cup.

3. Decide which cup will get water, sun, air, or all three.

4. Make signs for each cup.

5. Put the signs on the cup.

6. Put the cup with no sun in a box.

7. Put the cup with no air into a plastic bag.

8. Put the cup that will get all three (sun, air, water) into the window.

9. OBSERVE
