Week in Review
We had so much fun kicking off a new writing unit this week! We are talking all about "How-To" Writing in this unit. To get things started, we have been practicing the best way to explain how to do things - so we had the opportunity to be better teachers than Mrs. Carney. In this picture, you see one of our students teaching another how to do Read to Self. This was after Mrs. Carney had just failed hooooorribly in trying to explain it ;)
We also had the BEST time explaining how to make our special First Grade Trail Mix!
The kids helped me write this recipe (and insisted that we send it home to you guys so that you can make it at home, too!)
So, we wrote our own versions!
We also spent some time talking about Crazy Grandma E. She is always bonking those vowels on the head and telling them to be polite and, "Say your name!"
In Language, we were introduced to Verbs with this fun song:
In reading, we practiced retelling stories with these fun books:
In math, we had a wild week by discussing subtraction AND fact families:
Fact families are a way to help us understand how addition and subtraction relate to one another.
For example, if I know 2+3=5 then I also know 5-3=2.
So we practiced moving those numbers around as life size math problems!
And also with some dominoes for easy practice :)
Have a great week!

Later in the week, we read this hilarious book about a boy getting ready for Thanksgiving. He listed some pretty wild rules for us to have a successful day.
We also spent some time talking about Crazy Grandma E. She is always bonking those vowels on the head and telling them to be polite and, "Say your name!"
In Language, we were introduced to Verbs with this fun song:
It's sure to wear your kiddo out during the break ;)
We also made sure to practice the difference between verbs and non-verbs with Angry Birds!
We also found verbs in a book!
(Test your kiddo's memory by asking about the surprise twist in this turkey book!)
We had a blast sequencing this book, too:
