The students had a great last week before vacation. The first graders wrapped up their Community Unit with the creation of a Community Quilt. Each student was responsible for making a square. The students illustrated their square with a picture of Community Helpers working together. The quilt is hanging in our Kiva for the entire team to enjoy!
In Readers' Workshop the students continued to work on their reading of poetry. This unit will continue when the students get back from vacation. The students have been enjoying poetry and have been really using great skills to learn how to interpret the poetry they are reading.
In Math, the students continue their study of Geometry. The students created their own Mini Quilts this week that went home in their Friday Folders. Also, the students continue to look at shape attributes when describing shapes. We want the students to be able to talk about what a shape looks like as well as the attributes that give a shape a certain name. The students practiced this skill through a game called, What Shape is in my Pocket.
In Fundations, the students continue to build their skills on using the suffix /s/. The students created their own books this week titled Jack's Bag. The children developed their own illustrations to go with the words. Those books were sent home in their Friday Folders.
This was my last week in the classroom. I just want to say thank you for all the support while I have been filling in for Mrs. Eaton. It has been wonderful working with your children and helping them develop as learners!
Thanks again,
Jamie St. John
