Kid Friendly Objectives
I can compare and contrast adventures and experiences of characters. (This week is all about Cinderella!)
I can identify and write contractions.
I can read, write, and identify words with or, our, and oar spelling patterns. (Use your oar to sail to shore).
I can compose shapes by using other familiar shapes.
^ We will talk about why squares can't be used to make circles and how attributes of shapes can help us determine which shapes to use when composing new ones.
I can write a fictional narrative.

Week in Review
As I sit here and write, we only have 43 more days of first grade. How on Earth is that possible? That explains how I ended up with so many photos of the work we've jam-packed into a single week. :)
We read all kinds of versions of the 3 Little Pigs.
We mastered those pirate letters!
We worked insanely hard on mastering compound words this week. We liked the idea that compound words were two words "built" together to make a new word and a new meaning. We went with it and did compound "construction" all week long.
First up: PUZZLES!
Sweet, sweet, victory!
So proud :)
We recorded a list of the words our friends made.
Finally: the CUP STACK.
Each table worked together to complete 10 cup towers. They had to find the pairs of cups with words and then identify the matching picture to complete the tower.
Some reason, compound words really make us want to climb on tables...
We were able to begin conferences for our fictional narratives. Some of these stories have been cracking me up!
To study attributes, we used BUTTONS! We read a story from Frog and Toad about a lost button. In the story, Frog and Toad use the attributes of the missing button to help them find it. SO...we spent a few days "playing" with buttons in class. On day one, we simply sorted our buttons into whatever attributes we could think of. On day 2, we described our own buttons' attributes and then compared them.
On day 3, we played "Guess My Rule." We took turns making groups of shapes based on their attributes. It was then our job to "guess the rule" the shape master chose.
Can you guess their rules? :)
(shape - square)
(color - yellow!)
(color - blue!)
Have a great week!

Some of us were REALLY motivated :)
Next: the Compound Word Egg Hunt!
Each first grader received half of an egg while I hid the other half around the room. They were responsible for finding the missing half and completing their compound word!
Each table worked together to complete 10 cup towers. They had to find the pairs of cups with words and then identify the matching picture to complete the tower.
Our VIPs were in charge of teaching calendar.
