There is no school Monday, October 14th or Tuesday, October 15th.
*Since this is a short week, we will not be sending home a spelling list. I will send home math homework on Thursday only.
*In Math, we will finish up Unit 2. Our focus during this unit has been on solving addition and subtraction number stories and using multiple strategies and tools to solve. We will finish this week with a math assessment to check where students are and allow me to plan for the next unit.
*Last week in writing, we focused on the inside story of our small moment stories. The outside story is what happened. For example: We went apple picking with our cousins. The apples were high up on the trees and hard to reach. My big cousin had to help me." The inside story is how you felt. For example,"It was the best time ever!" In first grade, many students inside stories are simply "it was fun." Last week we created a list of interesting and different ways of saying "it was fun." This week, we will create a list of ways to say "it was not fun." Students will practice using these interesting ways of sharing their inside story in pieces they have already finished.
*Last week, we began Recess Club. In Recess Club, we use the new Mindfulness Space in our school to learn social skills needed to navigate first grade. Last week, we reviewed what expected behaviors we should see at school (listening to the speaker, hands are for helping, safe bodies.) This week, our focus will be on what we think friendship is and what is expected and unexpected in friendships. We will read a book called "You Are Friendly" by Todd Snow. Student's training assignment for the week will be looking out for expected and friendly behaviors. They will also practice expected behaviors at recess, school, home, one the bus and in the community.
*On Friday, we will meet our 4th grade Book Buddies from Crisafulli. The 4th graders will come to visit us at Robinson. Each student will be paired with one or two 4th grade buddies. They will converse, read with one another and get to know each other over the course of the school year. Next month we will travel to Crisafulli.
*Just recently, we welcomed a new student to our classroom. Everyone did such a great job of welcoming her! I have updated the friendship list with her contact information.
