Happy Friday!
It was a short week but full of fun learning going on!
Reading: This was our first week to try out 7 sessions for our reading time. The students had to pick and work independently on Work on Writing, Read to Someone, Read to Self, Word Work, Book Shopping, Listen to Reading, and a Reading Group with the teacher. They are on their way to becoming better readers and writers!
Our focus this week was on consonants and vowels as well as characters. We read a fun story called Space Pup about a super hero dog. We thought about what Space Pup looked like, how he acted, and what he thought.
We also read Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, we thought about the characters of Sam and the other guy. We thought about how the other guy changed his thinking at the end of the book when he tried the green eggs and ham. So fun!
Math: This week we learned about using a number line to help us count up and down. We also learned how to tell time to the half hour. That was a little bit hard because we had to learn the term, “Half-past ___ o’clock.” People don’t use that term as often but it is good to know. We also learned how to read clocks as 3:30.
Bible: We are starting the story of Joseph today. He went through a lot of hard times! His brothers sold him into slavery, he was put in jail for something he didn’t do, wow! But through it all, God is with Joseph!
Fun Friday: Today we did creation station! The students got to pick a box and design and create whatever they wanted from it! My students are so creative!
Special Visitors: This week we had the girls from K5 come visit our classroom. The first graders became a big brother or sister and read to the K5 students. All the first graders did awesome!!
Student of the Week: Every Friday, I will choose a student to send home a Student of the Week sheet. Please have your child fill it out and send it back to school on Monday. If you can, please send in a picture! I will hang it up for the week and on Friday they can "Show and Tell" their paper and pictures. :)
