Today we introduced 3 more trick words : of, his & is.  We talked about how many of the trick words are not phonetic (sound them out) like of  really sounds like /u/ /v/.

In math we read the book What Time is it Mr. Crocodile? and we introduced making time to the hour.  We have a motion to remember the minute and hour hands, ask your first grader to show you minute ( hand extended and pointed way overhead) and their hand hand (bend at the elbow and put elbow to hip to show a shorter hand).

In writing we are learning to edit our work!  We are focused on re-reading to make sure it looks right, sounds right and makes sense!  We are using basic editing like crossing out a word or adding a caret when we need to add a word or phrase. You can remind us when we are writing at home to use these strategies when we re-read our work.
