We made lots of time to get cozy and read for Read A Thon today.  We even got to have our fourth grade buddies come down to read with us.

We also had some good map builders at work today as we started to assemble our town buildings on our town map.  One builder said to me, “For choice time today, can I just sit and look at our buildings?”  The kids are so proud of their work.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Hope you have some wonderful time with family and friends.

Hello, First Grade Fans!  We are busy at work and had some fun days at school this week.  Today we finished writing our Small Moment (Personal Narrative) stories and had a publishing party.  The kids walked through our “book museum” to admire all the hard work of our first grade authors.  Then they gathered in small groups to read their stories to their friends.  Finally, we gathered to raise our glasses and toast to our success as young writers.  We are very proud of them!

We also started a new social studies unit on Maps.  We are building a 3-D model of the area around Leverett near our school.  This week we talked about what kinds of goods and services communities need.  Then we chose partners and went to work building and painting.

In Fundations we have started learning about digraphs.  I sent home a packet today of work you can do with your child at home to reinforce this concept, along with some new sight words to practice.

Some pattern block friends showed up in First Grade this week.

Have a great weekend!
