Our character trait for November is Respect. We learned that respect means treating others how you would like to be treated. We wore yellow for respect.
The first graders are impressing me with their ability to quietly read to themselves for long stretches of time. I love the fact that they can be captivated by a book and do not need anything else :)
In first grade we make our own flashcards to practice addition and subtraction facts 0 through 10. I believe that writing the fact down can help some students remember them. My main goal for these is memorization. Here they are working on their +6 cards.
Every Monday when we learn new spelling words we do some exercises. Here they are doing jumping jacks and push ups. By the end of the year they will be big and strong, right?
We had a very funny show and tell last week. Flubber that makes funny noises when it gets squished down into the container. They could not control the giggles!
For a Thanksgiving writing assignment, the first graders wrote about 3 things they are thankful for. They were thankful for their moms and dads, cows, cars, church, school, houses, and of course their teacher. I am thankful for each and everyone of these kiddos. They sure do make my heart happy :)
Thanks for dropping by!
