DAILY REMINDERS:

• Homework:  Spelling worksheet, study for the spelling test, and read.  WRR is due tomorrow.
• Library tomorrow

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOUR FIRST GRADER:

• Shared Reading:  After reading My Friends for the last time this week, we shared things we have learned from our friends.  Tomorrow they will write about it.
• Word Work:  Using our clickers, we took a "test" over the c, h, and ch sounds.
• Math:  Earlier in the year, we learned the meaning of the words horizontal and vertical in math.  We reviewed these definitions and completed a practice page containing vertical subtraction sentences.
• Counseling:  Ms. Stiles (counselor intern) came to our classroom and we listened to a book about a tattle tale and learned the difference between tattling, really being in danger, problem solving and M.Y.O.B. (Minding Your Own Business).  This was a great lesson for first graders! (:

UPCOMING EVENTS:

• Pancakes with Santa on Thursday, December 13.  More details coming soon.
