Your child may come home telling you that they got a fun pass from the treasure chest!
It is true! They may wear a hat, bring a small stuffed animal or 1 Show & Tell item from home. The other passes are rewards in the classroom.
Thank you for all the wonderful reading that has happened our first full month of school. Reading to your child is such an important part of first grade. As of mid September the class has read a total of 2,010 minutes!!!
Yahoo! Way to go First Grade Families!
Tomorrow is October already!!! Please be looking for the new reading log in their binder. We are going to try to go past our September total and set a goal for our October minutes.
Writer's Workshop Update:
The students have been working so hard on their small moment writing! They have been trying to write like our Mentor text- The Night of the Veggie Monster, written by George McClements. Our motto is let's write like George and bring our stories to life.
They are putting stickers by the things that George does really well in his writing. These are things they want to try as a writer!
Here are the things they are trying in their writing:
- tell a story across the pages
- bring our characters to life ( move and talk, think and feel)
- use quotation marks around speaking words
- use story teller words
- use spelling strategies
They are working so hard! I cant wait to share their work with you later this month.
Please look for the scavenger hunt that came home today on orange paper. This weekend may be a great time to work on the scavenger hunt. Please send in an item or a photo from the hunt when you complete the activity!
Don't forget: Emma wants everyone to wear pink or red tomorrow!
