Alphabet Snap
Review letters in the alphabet is fun when you play a game ! We had letters in a bag and there were several cards that said "Snap". If you pulled a letter and read it correctly, you kept it. If you pulled the Snap card, you had to put all of your cards back in the bag!
Math
We are practicing recognizing our numbers quickly, and we are using dominoes to help us. We laid out number cards and then matched them up with the correct number on the domino.
Chromes
We practiced logging into the Chromes today. We made sure our user name and passwords were working properly. Then we went to www.abcya.com for some first grade skill practice.
Phonics
We reviewed our letters and sounds with the letters of the alphabet written on notecards. We played Quiz, Quiz, Trade with our classmates and tried to quiz as many friends as we could with our cards.
Scoot
A game we like to play to review skills is called Scoot. The one we played today was alphabet scoot. On a recording sheet, students scoot around the room to read cards that have missing letters in the alphabet.
Buddies
We loved meeting our fifth grade buddies. We made a chart to find out all of the things that we had in common with our buddies and looked at how we were different. We will be doing fun activities with our new friends on Thursday afternoon.
Top Dog
Evan was our first Top Dog. He loves cats ( I'm sure I will make him a dog lover by the end of the year), enjoys eating hot dogs, and plays baseball.
