We have been so busy learning, working and having fun in first grade we have been neglectful of our blog and taking pictures! The first graders will tell you- we've been learning SO much this week!
Our WOW word is "livid" and we've shared some moments in our lives when we have all been that angry before. Our word study focus this week is on the digraphs th, sh, ch, and wh. We have been writing these digraphs, finding them in reading, and thinking of words that we know have them. Today, we even found a digraph we weren't learning about- ph!
In math we have been learning about skip-counting and finding rules. We use strategies like counting up, find the space between, and counting back to figure these tough problems out.
We have been learning about Thanksgiving, Native Americans, and Pilgrims. Ask your first grader what they have learned about the Mayflower today. We are writing thankful books and will present what we are thankful for at School Wide Morning Meeting Friday morning!
Report cards will go home on Friday and conferences are next week. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you then!
