Hi! Can you tell the Hullabaloo is tonight? I sure can. So much excitement in the air! We had a busy week. We learned about fire safety. Firefighter Pete came to visit on Wednesday and then we visited him at the fire station on Thursday. We went to the UMaine Witter Farm on Tuesday as a response to our Wishy-Washy big books! We read lots of these big books to practice many different phonic skills. We also use them to practice reading fluently for meaning. We can't wait to bring home our First Grade Wishy Washy books. We will bring them home soon!
We have split our room into three groups and are practicing a Halloween Readers' Theatre. Each group will perform for a younger classroom on Wednesday or Thursday. After we will read our younger friends all of the many books we have made at school.
We started working with doubles in Math. Feel free to quiz your child while driving in the car. We are hoping to know our doubles through 12+12 without having to think about them.
We had our first UFLI assessment today. Our UFLI sound next week will be all, oll, ull. Ways to practice will come home Monday.
