Reading
For informational text, we are learning how to read and comprehend a time line. We made a timeline of some of the events that have happened in first grade so far and then we asked the children questions that had them refer to the timeline.
George Washington
We are learning so much about our first president George Washington. Did you know that his dentures were made from hippo teeth? Did you know that George returned General Howe's dog to him during the Revolutionary War when his dog accidentally ended up in the American's camp? Did you know that he had 36 dogs in his lifetime? George and I would have been facebook friends!
Math
Quiz, Quiz Trade to practice reading place value blocks.
Math tubs
Brownie points for making a dog out of tangrams!!!!
Second steps
When someone is distracting or bothering you, we practiced ignoring that person.
Second steps
We also practiced whispering words to tell the person to stop what they are doing. If those 2 things did not work, THEN it is time to get an adult to help. We loved role playing and hopefully that will help us remember what to do.
Top Dog
Naya is our Top Dog. We are happy that she was healthy today to do her presentation! Naya's favorite animal is a puppy and she loves to eat pizza. She is pawsome at singing and dancing. When she grows up she wants to be a singer!
Doggy Bag
1. Please have your child bring in a picture of their pet or favorite animal. We are going to be using it for a craft/writing activity. They can also bring in a picture of their favorite animal too if they don't have a pet picture. I'm sure I can spare a picture of Earl....
