Chunk spelling

Each week we will focus on a word chunk in our spelling. We are practicing the first 3 weeks and will begin with differentiated spelling groups in the first week of October. The parts of spelling are a practice sort, spelling test, and spelling tic-tac-toe homework. The spelling test is for the previous weeks word chunk and the other 2 are for the upcoming weeks spelling chunk.

Math games

We learned 2 math games this week to reinforce our learning about addition number models. We learned Addition Top It and Addition Dice Roll.

Hopes and Dreams

We talked about our first grade hopes and dreams. What are reasonable goals for our year and what lifelong dreams are. We brainstormed some ideas and then wrote our own. I look forward to receiving all the parent hopes and dreams for our year.

PBIS assembly

Friday we had our first assembly of the school year. We learned the new bengal pride characteristics- be safe, be responsible, be respectful. Each group in our school was introduced and we had a fun game show of Bengal Pride Price is Right!

Day 4!

Today we were busy! We looked at how we all are different and will need different things throughout the year and how we are respectful and learn from our differences because that is what makes our room better! We also had a delicious activity to learn names "Who Stole the Cookies?" We enjoyed cookies after! Lastly we explored unifies cubes for math uses and other creative means. Week 1 down 😄

Day 3!

Day 3! Today we explored our pattern blocks. We thought how we could use them in math ways and other creative ways. We showed responsibility cleaning up our materials after the lesson was done! Great work first graders!

The Kissing Hand

On our second day we made Chester raccoons after reading The Kissing Hand. Another great day together!

Our first day in first grade!

Tuesday was a great day with all the kiddos starting out our year on a great path. It is going to be an awesome year!
