This was our small group week, culminating with the full group of 25 students on Friday. My focus this week has been to help your child feel confident and comfortable in the classroom setting.
In Literacy we worked on being independent readers of a new text by, 'Reading the Pictures". Stamina and I Can DO It Myself are two phrases you may hear your child saying. We will be working to read independently as we build our stamina for longer periods of times each day. Students learned the habits of eyes in book, brain is thinking about the story and lips are quiet. We also focused on staying in our own reading area.
We are writers of our own lives during Writer's Workshop. We have drawn a picture of a breakfast we enjoyed and today did some writing by labeling or adding a sentence to the picture.
In Mathematics we are having some exploration time to experience a variety of the mathematics materials we will use throughout the school year.
As we begin to build routines and follow rules, we are learning more and more about what is expected of a first grader.
Have a great Labor Day weekend with your child! See everyone back on Tuesday, September 6th.
