NEWS 2-25-16

Hi! What a wild weather week…especially for February! We ventured into space and started learning about the moon, sun and Earth.  We will continue this next week and then expand into the other planets. 

READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS

Our author of the month is Theodor Geisel, otherwise known as Dr. Seuss!  We have done a couple of activities to go with his books, The Cat in the Hat and Oh, The Places You’ll Go.  They are hanging in the hall.

We are reading Midnight on the Moon, a Magic Tree House Book as a class. We are reading two chapters a day. 

MATH

We learned how to do Name Collection Boxes this week. We had fun writing down all the names that people use when they speak to us. We also worked with adding and subtracting tens from various numbers.

ITEMS OF INTEREST

*  Wednesday, March 3, we will celebrate World National Read Aloud Day. 

     It was supposed to be this past Wednesday but got snowed/iced out.

Happy 100th Day / Valentine's Day!!

Mr. Cyr started our day off right by reading two 100th Day stories to the Primary Wing!

We mixed up all the Primary Grades into four groups and did some fun 100 activities!

Haley read us a Valentine's Day story and then had us find 100 Hershey kisses hidden in our room!

They were labeled 1-100 so we put them on our 100 grid as we found them!

100 items can take up different amounts of space.

Nothing is better than Valentine's Day in First Grade!!

I absolutely loved hearing all the kind words the kids were expressing to each other!

First Graders Rock!! <3
