Monday, Monday

It was so nice getting to do car duty this morning! Since this week and next Ms. Moore is full time teaching...I get her duties. I must say it is a HAPPY change.  I enjoyed seeing pups from years past as well as my recent ones! Be sure to wave if you drive through the next few weeks!

YEP...today was the DAY!  And...guess what...we all survived! After the fire drill we did a quick bad weather drill as well. Everyone did a FANTASTIC job.  So proud of my pups.

Blogging is going to be strange for me...since I am not doing the majority of the teaching...

WRITING:
We introduced a new tool. The Give It A Go spelling sheet.

READING:
We are still predicting and confirming our predictions with text.  Ms. Moore read, First Grade Here I Come!



She asked the pups to make a prediction about what this story might be about from the cover.  (Well...some have already read this story so...guess what? Their predictions were SPOT ON!)

SCIENCE:
Oh meteorology...here we come!  We are going to be doing a study of the weather...We all want to be the meteorologist...so here's our chance! Today we brainstormed what we knew about different types of weather.  Ms. Moore broke us up into small cooperative groups!

Another BUSY BUSY DAY!

STUFF TO KNOW:
  • Spelling Pre-Test (blue folder)
  • Kiwi Class Shirt (backpack I did not get a chance to take a picture today!) WEAR ON WEDNESDAY! 
  • Homework for next week: Your child will be bringing home a parent note and a list of fruit.  I have highlighted one piece of fruit for your child to bring in!  (My little scientists in the past have LOVED working with fruit.) If you CANNOT bring in a fruit please let me know! 
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I heard a lot about soccer games and playing outside and play dates with neighbors... Enjoy your evening!
