Hello!
DAILY REMINDERS:
  • Moms and Muffins is tomorrow morning at 8:00-8:45.
  • Homework worksheet tonight...coloring and counting shapes.
At school today we:
  • read My Five Senses again and highlighted the 5 sense words on each page and discussed the body part needed to use each sense.
  • read A Bat Named Pat and brainstormed and recorded all the -at, -an, and -ad word family words we could think of.
  • learned how to make a book cover for our Days of the Week books we've been working on.  We learned that a book cover must have a title, picture and author's/illustrator's name.  We also brainstormed appropriate titles for our Days of the Week book.  Some of the students have finished their book and started working on their book cover today.
  • practiced some of our Daily 5 centers.  We Read to Self for 20 minutes, and we learned how to use Tumblebooks on the computer for Listen to Reading.
  • learned how to use a number line to help us count on.  This is another addition strategy we learn in first grade.
  • discussed the 3 types of clouds (stratus, cumulus, and cirrus) and read The Cloud Book  by Tomie de Paola.
  • reviewed the character word for September--RESPECT.  I felt the need to revisit RESPECT due to choices some of our first graders have been making at school this week.  I believe tomorrow we will observe more RESPECT in our classroom.
This is a sweet group of first graders, and I know they will do "the right thing"! (:
