What did we do last week?
This past week was so much fun! From rapping, to pumpkins, to guest readers...we did it all!

We had so much fun focusing on adjectives. 
To begin, we looked at our fancy adjective anchor chart and brainstormed a huge list of ways to describe objects.
We tested our skills by writing adjectives to describe a silly picture on the board.
Next, we got to test our adjective word bank by investigating pumpkins!
Ellie was thinking of a way to describe this pumpkin's weight. 

 Some of us wondered what our pumpkin smelled and sounded like.
Was our pumpkin bumpy or smooth? Or GREEN!
 Some pumpkins were....
 a little heavier than others. :)
Then we made our own pumpkin posters full of adjectives.
Finally, we made some fun Adjective Riddles!
We started to practice retelling stories. We began the week by reading Stellaluna. We mapped our batty book as a group.
 Then we got to retell the story independently on our own Stellaluna bats!

In math, we learned a pretty awesome rap to help us memorize our Doubles Facts!

 We ended our week with an 8th grade guest reader! It was so fun for our first graders to listen to a big kid read aloud. :) 

Thank you for letting me spend another great week with your first grader!
