- Happy Saturday! I’m sorry that this is being sent on Saturday not Friday. Last night, I was working really hard on the Friday news and it was nice and beautiful and then it DISAPPEARED and I lost it!!! Ahhhh so I didn’t have the energy to do it again, so now it is Saturday and I am doing it!
This week in 1st grade:
Bible: We have been learning about the life of Moses. We are excited to see how God is going to use Moses to save the Israelites from Egypt.
Reading: Since the students absolutely are enjoying the Pigeon books by Mo Willems, one of the moms offered to check out more of his books from another library. So now our classroom has 25 Mo Willems books! We are having a blast reading them. Together as a class we have discovered that Mo Willems books all share similar characteristics:
- Talking bubble or thinking bubbles for the dialogue.
- Squiggly line when angry or mad
- BIG LETTERS when shouting and small letters when embarrassed.
We are excited to see what else we will find out about the Mo Willems books!
Here is an example of one of his book:
Math: We have started a unit on measurement. We started out talking about measuring temperature with a thermometer. On Friday we used our body to measure different things around the room such as using our finger, our feet, our arms to measure our desk, the whiteboard etc.
