The month of October is flying by! Our first graders have been busy learning, and I have been busy learning too! Over the weekend I attended a conference at UW-Oshkosh about 'Hot Topics in Literacy'. I got to listen to some great speakers, and I got some awesome ideas to try in our classroom and new books to read!
This week we will be wrapping up Unit One of Everyday Math. Students will take the end of unit assessment on Tuesday. Some of the topics covered in unit one include: tally marks, forward and backward counting, numeral identification, comparing numbers, and identifying numbers before and after a given number.
In writer's workshop this week we will continue to focus on ways to bring our small moment stories to life. We have learn about making your characters move and talk, and writing about how your character is feeling or what they are thinking. We have studied some mentor texts to explore what other authors do in their stories.
Students are continuing to build their stamina and practice reading to self and writing in their thinking journals. Students also have the opportunity for partner reading and to listen to books read to them.
This week in science our theme will be the four seasons. We will focus on a different season everyday, beginning with fall.
We will have an all school assembly on Monday to review school wide expectations and introduce our school kindness tree! We will also have a guidance lesson with Miss Eake.
