Week in Review!
Here are some of the ways we deepened our learning in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. 

We continued practicing our Doubles Facts.

 

We continued to practice retelling by writing out a summary...on the tables!

We got very into our books during Read to Buddy time.

We read several Kevin Henkes books this week to practice identifying central message:

Central Message: Wemberly was always worried. We do not need to worry! We have grown-ups who can keep us safe.

Central Message: Change can be good...and sometimes even better!

Central Message: Being brave doesn't mean you're not allowed to be scared. Being scared doesn't mean you can never be brave.

We enjoyed our "Ketchup and Mustard" time on Friday. (We spend 5-10 minutes "ketch(up)ing up on unfinished work. Any unfinished work goes home for the weekend. The "mustards" are friends who worked hard all week to keep their desks clear of unfinished work. We celebrate with a bit of free time right before recess!) 

I look forward to another fun week with your first grader! :)
