HAPPY 12-12-12!
Sorry for not posting yesterday, but I will include yesterday's learning into today's post.
DAILY REMINDERS:
- Homework: "Brushing Bears"--students have to add the /th/ digraph to word endings and then write the /th/ words into sentences where the words will make sense.
- Pancakes with Santa: Tomorrow night 5:30-7:30 p.m. If you ordered tickets, they came home tonight in your student's green folder.
- Spelling Test Friday.
- Library on Friday.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOUR FIRST GRADER:
- Shared Reading: We read the poem "The Rink" and highlighted words with the /th/ digraph (the, brother, there, than etc...). Today we read The Doorbell Rang again and looked for words in the text that have the VCe pattern (Vowel-Consonant-Silent e) and follow the "Silent e Rule" (makes, made, etc...).
- Word Work: Word work involved sorting and writing pictures and words with the /h/, /sh/, and /ch/ sounds.
- Writing: We continue to work on our "Wish List". The students have to write sentences telling something they want, something they need, and something someone else needs or wants. Soon they will make an elf to hold their wish list.
- Math: Yesterday we took our subtraction test over chapter 4. We went over several of the problems today, since there were quite a few friends who struggled with these concepts. Many need to make corrections to their test. This test is coming home today in their green take home folder. We began a new chapter today on counting back 1, 2, and 3, related addition and subtraction facts and problem solving.
- Social Studies: Ask your first grader what goods, services, needs and wants are.
