We have continued to talk about Thanksgiving and learn about what life was like a long time ago for the Pilgrims. Today one of our centers was to read the pictures in some picture books about the first Thanksgiving. We talked about how good readers use all the clues, including picture clues to make meaning. The kids were able to tell a lot from the illustrations!
We also made bingo cards to play bingo with all our words that have bonus letters ( shell, buzz, mess, huff etc.) We have been reviewing our first glued sound all.
This week our trick words were you, your , I & they.
In math we sorted number sentences for true and false. It was important for us to explain not only how we knew an answer was correct but how we knew it was false! " I knew 5+5+5=10 was not true because it takes two 5's to make 10, three 5's would be bigger" etc.
At morning meeting we are sharing something we were thankful for. Today kids could share anything they feel thankful for tomorrow they are challenged to share something they are thankful for that cannot be bought at a store! I will post the responses tomorrow!
We filled up our bucket and voted on a privilege! We are going to get an extra recess! We will likely save this for Friday. Speaking of recess if your first grader wants to bring any equipment to recess from home (balls, jump ropes, frisbees etc) they are welcome to! The school has some of these items to offer the kids but you can also send it items if you want to. I would recommend labeling anything with your child's name and room 107.
Still looking for several first grade families who could donate a dozen mini muffins for our feast. Ideally we would like 6 separate 1 dozen donations for our feast next Tuesday morning ( 830 am parents are welcome).
On Tuesday the 22nd when we have our book pal feast we will be the Pilgrims. Please help your child pick our their best Pilgrim outfit ( do not go buy anything!!). Kids usually try for white or light colored tops ( collars are a plus) and black or dark bottoms. Sometimes girls wear aprons, sometimes boys pull high socks over their pant legs. We will provide the hats! Thanks!
