Happy Tuesday!
We are busy learning and having fun at school. During reader's workshop we are continuing to read stories that demonstrate attributes of a strong learner. Students are recognizing when they are empathetic and when they are optimistic. This week our focus is on persistence.
We are working on building our "read to self" stamina. Yesterday we read for 17 minutes. We set our goal for 18 minutes. When we reach that goal we will have a reading celebration! Ask your child what they are reading during that time.
We have also introduced partner read this week. I love watching how much joy there is when children read together!
In first grade math we continue to work on math routines and make 10 strategies. We are also working on handwriting during that time.
We are wrapping up our mini-unit on poetry and song writing and will begin our narrative writing unit the end of this week.
Today I will go to the bank to determine how much the gift card will be that we send off to Texas (we have a lot of change :). We will purchase a book to sign and send as well from our class.
Enjoy this warm weather!
