We learned about revising our writing, working in writing partnerships, and using the "counting on" strategy to both add and subtract! We also made hypotheses about what "our" maple tree will look like, and did Estimating on Wednesday. On Friday, there was a double safety drill, starting with a lockout drill and moving into an outside safety drill. We also worked on our Jolly Phonics/phonemic awareness activities and had fun in music, art, PE, and library!
Next week, we'll be continuing our work with computation strategies and working on how to spell tricky words, as well as learning about our schema and making text connections.
Congratulations to Etta and Norah on earning the privilege of taking Kola and Darla home today!
Our first homework folders will be coming home next week! :D
We seem to have a lot of little toys and gadgets coming to first grade. Please help your first grader remember to leave those at home unless they are needed for SACC. Thanks!
Have a fantastic weekend! I'm going to see some friends in the Camden area, and spending some time here in the classroom getting ready for next week. I hope you get a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather that is forecast!
