What a great day! We had a very successful and fun fairy house walk! Thank you for helping send in things and to all our volunteers! It really is a fun first grade memory. If you missed the walk you could always come walk the trail behind the school over the long weekend and check out all the fairy neighborhoods!
In math we are continuing to make and do things to help us learn (until it is automatic) all the ways to 10! Look for a paper coming home on this today where they cut and pasted the matches to 10. When they were done I quickly checked in and quizzed each kid on the paper , first they were allowed to look at it "Who goes with 5? Who goes with 8 etc" Then we flipped the paper over and tried it the same questions from memory.
In writer's workshop we are learning how to add life to our characters in our pictures and our words. We are making them move and speak! We are adding their feelings to our stories. I love seeing the speech bubbles and expressions they are drawing on the faces. We talked about moving beyond a stick figure who is frozen standing still and showing movement to enhance the reader's understanding of the story!
Enjoy the long weekend! See you back on Tuesday team 107!
