Wow these days are flying by so quickly!
In literacy this week we have been practicing our new trick words have & from.
We also have been reviewing our glued sounds -all, -an & -am.
I am impressed at how well the first graders can hear a sentence dictated to them and then write it correctly with punctuation and capital starts when they really attend to the task! At the reading table today we had lots of writers get the whole sentence correct with all the sounds and writing mechanics! That's a big job!
In math we are learning about patterns! We started with the visual patterns and read the book Pattern Fish.
The first graders made a page in the same style the illustrator used in the book to show a pattern of their choice.
Today we read the book Missing Mittens and introduced the concept of odds and evens. We figured out that we can tell if a number is odd or even by determining the digit in the ones place. We also learned to check if a number is odd or even by counting it out on our fingers using alternating hands. Have your first grader show you how to check 5 (If they do it correctly they should sing "Somebody is missing a partner" at the end to determine it is odd).
We are continuing to write OPINION stories in writer's workshop! We are learning to convince your reader you should give LOTS of reasons why you like it!
