Week in Review!
We can add another successful week in our books! :)
Here are some of the ways we continued to grow as first graders this week.
We finished our Personal Narratives!!! One of the final steps was to peer edit with a partner. It was amazing the types of conversations that were happening in the classroom. These kids know what it takes to be great story tellers! Even better, we had an author party on Friday where every student had the option to share their story aloud in the "Teacher Chair." Talk about a captivated audience. :)
We also closed our unit on digraphs (2 letters that make 1 sound) and said goodbye to our H Brothers (Charles, Theo, Whit, and Sherman).
We also practiced creating Mental Images in our minds as we listen to stories. One of the many stories we practiced our brain pictures with was The Gruffalo. In this story, a sneaky little mouse tricks many different forest animals into believing there is a gruffalo ready to snatch them and eat them at any moment! The mouse convinces the characters by giving great details (purple prickles on its back, a wart on its nose, etc.) We had fun drawing the picture we were creating in our brains.
We also continued to use our brain power to help us determine the meaning of unknown words by using context clues. By the end of the week, we were experts at decoding wild words that even the Minions use!
Thank you for all you do. I am excited for another week!
