More Tallies and Reading Habits

Today we charted more data with tally marks.  We even got to see a real-life example of tallying!  We were so excited! We are learning to keep our data neat and organized, like these first graders below:

Today, one group of readers got to practice building their spelling words with one another.  They enjoyed building ___at words and giving each other "tests."  

In reading, we learned that readers drop bad habits and pick up good habits!  We had a wonderful share where readers were able to show us a good habit they picked up.  Check with your first grader to see which good (or bad!) habit they noticed today.


While we were writing, we didn't let hard, long, tricky words stop us!  We sounded them out, stretched them out, and tried to get every sound on the paper.  Check out these first graders who used this strategy to spell "Granny's Wacky Prizes" and "Bearded Dragon".  They were *so* proud they spelled words with so many letters!
