Board/Card Game Time

Duckling Gets a Cookie Read Aloud

The last two weeks we have been working on reading with fluency and expression. I modeled for them the reading of Pigeon Gets a Cookie. After reading I told them they would be recording their own voices reading the story. Below you will find a video of their recording. :)

Nutrition

During the last 5 weeks we have been learning about the 5 food groups and eating healthy. To help the kids learn about the food groups we followed a dragon named Little D as he learned about the food groups and how to make healthy choices. The kids loved reading about Little D and love to tell me what foods they are eating at lunch and which group it is from. Please encourage your children to do so at home too! There are also some games your child can play at home to reinforce the things that we have learned. You can click the image below to play!

Winter Weather!

This week we spent sometime talking about dressing appropriately for the weather. We talked about how we should be wearing a winter coat,  a hat, and gloves or mittens everyday. We also discussed that if there is snow on the ground you must wear snow pants in order to play on the equipment or go in the wood chip area. This time of year can be tough to judge what recess will be like so it is best to have our things everyday just in case. Every year I also get many questions about whether or not snow pants have to be worn on the bus home. The rule in 1st grade is yes. If they they wear them to school they will be worn on the bus after school unless we have a note stating otherwise. If you do not want them to wear them home on the bus please send a bag each day for them to go home is as they do not fit well in backpacks and often get very wet. Please also be sure your child has gym shoes that stay at school each day. That way they won't have to miss out on fun and exercise in gym. Thanks so much for your help getting your child prepared for the winter weather and let me know if you have any questions!
