Today we had a good day! We had reading this morning. We also had a special visitor today, Mr. Harker. He stopped in to see just how awesome we have been doing in first grade! We practiced our high frequency words on the smartboard. Then, we wrote short e words on our whiteboards with a partner. Some partners got up to eight short e words in one minute. That's incredible! We worked on comparing/contrasting things. When we compare and contrast things we are looking for ways that they are alike and different. Language Arts ended with us reading the story "Little Red Hen Gets Help" and doing a retelling sheet. We had to draw pictures of what happened in the beginning, middle, and end of the story. After reading this story we learned that we should always be good helpers. Nobody appreciates when others refuse to help! This afternoon, we had music and PE. After snack today we played a review game for social studies. Everyone did a great job and I think we are ready for our test! Math today was also review. We took a practice test all together. You will see this come home today in your child's folder. Have a super night! I am hoping for no more snow... See you in the morning!
