This first week of first grade just flew by! We had so much fun getting to know one another and learning the routine of our day. We've laughed. We've cheered. We've been building a strong community for a successful year together.
In language arts/reading we learned the importance of choosing and reading "good fit books". Our class also learned how much fun it is to read song books. We read BINGO, The Lady with the Alligator Purse, Down by the Bay, Five Little Ducks, and more! Reading these types of books instantly engages and motivates young readers. In addition, song books increase phonemic awareness and build sight word vocabularies.
In math the children worked on making towers for given numbers, placing objects on a graph, ordering numbers, identifying circles and squares, and identifying right and left. So far the first graders love math and have been very successful with their efforts.
Our spelling words for the week:
(Aug. 31 - Sept. 4)
am
at
sat
man
dad
mat
all

any
