Week in Review
Another great week in first grade! The first unit of Wonders lets us really spend time focusing on beginning comprehension strategies: retelling. Part of retelling is being able to identify key details (this lays the groundwork for summarizing in the future!) Using some of the texts from Wonders, our first graders have been working to pull out key details and use them to sequence and retell a story with their peers.
Can you believe first graders can take notes about the books they're reading? :-D
and had to guess which punctuation fit at the end!
It brought on lots of laughs. :)
We were excited to start a new unit in math: Geometry! We've been exploring how to compose shapes with other shapes. The kids are loving it.
Of course, we also had fun at our Evan's Orchard Field Trip! Thanks to all of our volunteers who showed up and even toughed it through the rain. You guys make trips like this possible and FUN!
Have a FANTASTIC week!

Along with reading, we've been focusing on fluency! Fluency not only includes reading accuracy and rate but includes inflection. We've studied when to use exclamations and question marks (the difference between telling and asking) and are working to master being able to hear the difference!
We read this hilarious story:
Then had some fun coming up with our own Pigeon quotes! We shared them to the class
