Puppy Pound Update
9/4/15
Friendship!
We spent the week building on what we know about being a friend. We learned about the characteristics of what makes a good friend. Being a good listener and inviting everyone to play were really important to us.
We also started reading, math and writing! We love remembering the Super Kids from last year, and building on our knowledge in writing and math!
Writing
The first unit we will be working on this year in writing is a small moment narrative. We brainstormed topics and ideas to write about, and got started!
Brain Break
We move around a lot in first grade! We took some time to stretch it out and take a movement break between writing and math.
Otter Creek
We took our first timed Otter Creek fact test this week. The top half of the paper is to be practiced at home, and the bottom half is for our test in school.
Welcome Miss Kraft!
We are so happy to have Ms. Kraft join our puppy pound! She came in today to meet all of the first graders. The children loved her! She is very excited to get her room ready and get to know the students who will be in her room!
