This week we have been practicing our place value stategies. We've been placing objects into groups of tens and ones with partners during Math Workshop time. The students LOVE Math Workshop!! I hope to post some pictures soon!
We also made "Math Number Story" snowmen, and wrote about what we think snowmen might do at night. One of my cuties wrote "I think he drinks cold chocolate", and another wrote "I think he has a big party all night long". SO cute!
In Reading we continue to learn new vocabulary words, and new long vowel spellings. Remember that we will start having "mini" spelling tests this week. These will be frequently used words that the students often misspell. We also have our "Reading Workshop" almost daily as well. During this time your child may be working on ABC order, vowel sorting, writing, reading to a partner, spelling, or "writing the room"[ask your child what this is -- it's a favorite activity!]
This next week we will begin to learn about penguins. Always a favorite with the First Graders!
