Marvelous Monday

We had an awesome day back together in Room 3 today!  Everyone worked so hard all day long.  We started sharing during Morning Meeting.  Everyone is assigned a day that is their share day.  In first grade, we don't bring in items for show and tell, we use our voices to share about something that is important to us.  Today, we shared about our pets and a recent trip our family took. 

Our WOW word this week is persuade- to convince someone to do something.  I have a feeling this group of first graders are excellent persuaders because they used this word PERFECTLY in sentences from the get-go.  Apparently, many of us are very good at persuading our parents to do things.  (According to the students at least!)

In reading we are working to sound out words that we don't know and ask ourselves when we make a guess, "Does that make sense?"  We met in reading groups for the first time this year and practiced this skill along with our sight-words.  We are also continuing to answer the "W" questions about texts we read.  

We used a number grid for the first time in math.  Number grids are tricky because you have to remember to go the beginning of the line below to the next number.  We practiced counting up and back using a number grid and learned a new game called "Roll to 50".  This game is fun because the number you roll means different things.  

We are still writing stories about events and things that are important to us using the hand method- Topic, Detail, Detail, Detail, Wrap-up.  Some of us are even starting to add extra details!  We have very talented writers in this class!

We are still learning about important people and placed in our Community.
