Park Roadrunners have been very busy over the past month! In Mrs. Begay's class, you can see a combination of informational and functional writing. Each student picked an item, pulled key details about their item, wrote their clues in a list, and "hid" it in the egg for others to guess! In Mrs. Analla's first-grade classroom, students were learning measurement using non-standard measurement tools. They painted a penguin and then measured their penguin using unifix cubes. Using non-standard measurements builds the capacity for students to measure using inches and centimeters in second grade. In Mrs. Sanchez's class, students have been working on their informational writing. Good informational texts have strong transition words. The most common transition words we see first-grade students use is first, next, and last. As they continue through Holbrook Schools, they will learn to vary these words and add voice to their writing. #ParkProud #WhenOneRoadrunnerSucceeds #HundredPercentRoadrunner
