Happy Tuesday.  We started our day talking about our wonderful weekends.  I love hearing everything the kids do during their free time.  After this we had quiet reading.  We read for 14 minutes and during this time I was able to complete one guided reading lesson with a group of grade ones.  Please ask your child if they met with me during guided reading and the strategies we talked about (look at the pictures, point to each word as you say it and look at the beginning sound).

After quiet reading we moved on to writer's workshop.  We talked about writing  a story from a memory.  I am encouraging the kids to bring a picture to school that they can keep in their writing journal to refer to.

We also practiced turning a magic c into the letter s.  Any extra practice at home would be greatly appreciated.

After lunch we read a story about filling people's buckets and then we did calendar activities.  After this we finished up our number books and glued them in our math journals.  We also learned how to play go fish with the power of 10 cards.

In gym today we learned about playground safety.

We began talking about our 5 senses this afternoon and tomorrow we will start a new visual journal page.

Have a wonderful evening!
