Skip Over

We have been working very hard to skip-over words that we don't immediately know while we're reading and finish the sentence.  Finishing the sentence is important to do, instead of staying stuck on a word, because it can help us figure out that tricky word.  After we figure it out, we go back and re-read the entire sentence to practice reading smoothly. 

Our WOW word this week is festive.  We had lots of examples of how festive we've been so far this holiday season.  We are moving on to the short "o" family in SWR.  Our word families this week are __ot and ___op.  Our red word is for.  

We are practicing measuring with rulers and tape measures in math.  Today, we completed a bar graph representing the height of children in our room.  It was very fun to compare our heights and learn about the heights that most first graders are.  We had a wide range!  

Technical texts are still our focus and we will be reading Bat Loves the Night all week and answering comprehension questions about it as well as filling out graphic organizers to help us with our thinking.  We will also be reading technical texts about maps!
