Wow, what a fun week we had! It's hard to believe that we have only one full week and then 3 more days left together.
This week readers theater groups began rehearsing their plays, working on making their reading smooth and expressive. We wrapped up our narrative writing unit and character focus in our reading. Hopefully your child shared with you the narrative stories they wrote that were sent home late this week!
We began our Geometry math unit and PBL geometric memory quilt project. We read My Two Blankets and began reading Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. We also watched a video short, based on the book, Oma's Quilt. We began to think about how to design our own representations of our first grade memories. This has been a very engaging activity thus far. It’s also been fun to reminisce about some of our favorite times together this year.
We've also been using shape blocks in math and working on composing bigger shapes and designs with the shape blocks. This is good practice for making our own shape designs for our quilt!
Next week we will have 1st grade fun day. This is a time where each first grade class rotates through a fun activity led by each 1st grade teacher! Some activities are outside and some are inside so sunscreen and bug spray are a good idea for Wednesday (or Friday if it's raining on Wednesday).
This week we filled our heart jar again and celebrated with a painting project on Friday!
Dates to Remember:
- Wednesday 6/12 - 1st Grade Fun Day 9-11 am (rain date 6/14)
- Monday 6/17 - Classroom Clean-up Day
- Tuesday 6/18 - All School Celebration (rain or shine)
- Wednesday 6/19 - Step-Up Day 8:30 am
- Wednesday 6/19 - Last Day of School - 11:00 dismissal
Have a great weekend!
❤ Mrs. Fox
