Happy Friday! It's a beautiful day today!!
This week:
Reading: This week was another week of working hard on our Student Led Conference portfolios. The students are doing a great job of thinking of what they are good at and what they need to work on in their different subjects.
We dived into the blends that have the letter "l" in it. Look at all the words we came up with!
This week we also did a mini lesson on verbs. The student enjoyed some center activities involving verbs.
Math: We finally learned about Quarters!! Now we have finally learned all the coins for 1st grade. We have to practice practice practice counting all the coins together now. We practiced counting by 25’s as well as learned who is on a Quarter.
This week we also did some explorations with shapes and fractions, triangles on geoboards, dice games, and measuring with centemeters. The students had fun and learned a lot!
Bible: This week we finished the unit on David with the promise that his son Solomon would be the next king. Solomon loved God and followed in his ways and so God said he would give him whatever he wanted. Solomon asked for a discerning heart and wisdom. God was so pleased with his answer that he gave him that AND riches, fame, and honor. WOW! My prayer is that God would give a discerning heart and wisdom to all of my students.
Special Guests - This week we had some special guests! Mr. and Mrs. Turner aka Ms. Turner’s parents! They were in town for my brother’s basketball games and stopped by to say hi to 1.1.
Kid City - Coming up in April is a special event for 1st an 2nd graders called Kid City. We are beginning preparation for it by teaching the first lesson on the Post Office. Students learn what happens at a Post Office and what kind of things you say at a Post Office.
