Hi! This week just flew by! We continue to work on becoming super heroes in our classroom :)! We are very excited about making our costumes. We made masks this week! On Wednesday we will tie dye our capes with our peer helpers. A huge thank you to Wyatt, Manyuh, Lucas and Colton for donating extra t-shirts. We now have plenty for our class :)! We will wear our costumes on Wednesday, October 7th for our special super hero celebration.
READING AND LANGUAGE ARTS
We have been reading LOTS of big books. These allow me to model reading strategies and word work with the class. Some of our work this week involved: contractions, compound words, looking for little words in big words, getting our mouth ready, looking at pictures, two vowels working together, punctuation, stretching out sounds, capital letters, blends...as you can see we do lots of work with our big books!
We wrote two class books. They are called: LAZY FIRST GRADE and I SEE MY FRIENDS. We’ve had lots of fun with these. We can’t wait to share them at home but they need to stay in our book boxes for a little while.
MATH
We finished up our first assessment. I give each math assessment one on one. This way I can make sure it assesses math and not reading. It also allows me to take notes on what your child is saying and doing. For instance, the answer might be 15 but 51 is written. The child might have actually said 15 but written it wrong. By assessing individually I can make sure I know what was happening.
We worked on addition and the many ways to make ten. We are working on counting up from the largest number.
