Non-Fiction and Opinions

We are off to a great start this week!  We worked hard in literacy to learn about our new spelling pattern- r-blends.  We are working with words that start with cr____, gr_____, tr____, and dr____ this week! As you're reading with your first grader at home, keep track of how many words you can find that begin this way!


One reading group used the index of a book today, to find a topic they were interested in reading about.  They located the page, read about the topic, and shared with their group.

In writing, we practiced our speaking and listening skills by reading secret opinion prompts and coming up with reasons for them!  These are the prompts we responded to:
____ is the worst sport because ______
_____ is the worst smell because ________
______ is the best school because ________
_____ is the best dessert because ______
_____ is my favorite food because_______


We had a great time coming up with reasons and listening for reasons from the audience.


Our school-wide holiday sing-a-long is Friday, December 18th at 1:50pm.  If you plan to join us, please meet us in the cafeteria/gym at that time.
