Earth Day work!

Thanks for continuing to rock mystery readers!

 

 

Since Earth Day is Saturday we read a book about how we can help save the Earth and had a group conversation.  Then everyone got to write how they wanted to save the Earth.  They then had a chance to present their work to their friends :) .  They've become great confident presenters this year!

First, Next, and Last!

Going along with our story of the week Curious George Goes to School we've been practicing sequencing.  Yesterday we verbally sequenced using "first", "next", and "last".  Today we used this concept and included writing.  Everyone got to write three sentences that went together going with these words and then if they chose to they got to present their sequencing story to the class. 

 

Two thumbs up Fantastic First Graders!!!

 

 

Becoming a united class!

To help learn about our school and were everything is located Chester the Raccoon sent us on a scavenger hunt around the school to try to catch him!  We located many different rooms around the school and began to feel more comfortable with our new surroundings.  Chester left us some kisses at the end so that he will always be in our heart!

 

 

We also read a book called We Share Everything by Robert Munsch.  In the book the kids struggle with sharing at school and the teacher keeps telling them that they share everything in school.  At the end the kids take this concept to heart and even begin sharing their clothes! 

 

As a class we talked about some things at school we should share with our friends as well as a few things that we should not.  First as a class everyone illustrated and wrote the word for an item that they felt we should share at school.  Then independently they worked on cutting and sorting things they should and should not share.

 

 

 

 

Since we are unable to go outside (we can't go out if it's above 95 degrees) we've been jiving to gonoodle using our Smartboard!  They've LOVED it and are fantastic at helping pick out their favorite songs to share with their friends.  Please make sure your child is wearing shoes everyday that they are comfortable for them to play on the playground in.
