We've started talking about "Real Reading" and Metacognition. We discuss how real readers stop and think about their books,they make connections, predictions, and ask questions about what they read. We've made a "real reading salad" and practiced during independent reading.
Our spelling pattern was silent e for the last two weeks so we spent a lot of time noticing how the e on the end of words is silent, but it makes the vowel say its name! We made these cute little baggies with the sneaky e guy. Doesn't he look very sneaky!? hehehe. (borrowed this from http://firstgradewow.blogspot.com/2012/07/sneaky-e-is-back.html)
ANNNND we've been practicing for our upcoming PTA performance for the parents. Here's a silly picture I took last week during one of the practices!
Save the date! February 7th, 2013 at 6:30 in the cafeteria!
Don't worry, we'll be up on the stage the night of the performance! :)
Our annual canned food drive is starting in a few weeks, I went through my cabinets today and set aside a few items to donate. Our school has participated in the Souper Bowl of Caring canned food drive for the last several years, and we've always collected a HUGE amount of nonperishable items as a school. There's even a drawing for free Jags tickets for the school that collects the most items. Every 10 items donated is a chance at the drawing! I'm so proud to be part of such a kind and caring school. I hope I can encourage my class to collect at least 100 cans! More information will be sent home in the daily folders next week!!
9 more school days until the 100th day :) (Feb. 4th)
