Here are some snippets of the last couple days, in photos. I hope you agree that pictures really help give a glimpse into life in first grade! I think I need a dedicated classroom photographer. Soon, that will be the students. Hooray!

| Students went "book shopping" in our leveled library this week. They now have 5 or more "good fit" books in their classroom book bags. Watch for these bags to come home soon for your child to read to you. Students learned the acronym 'I-PICK' to help choose good-fit books: I choose a book Purpose--I have a reason to want to read this book Interest--The book is interesting to me in some way Comprehend--I understand what I'm reading in this book Know--I can read most of the words by myself |

| Miss Dube has taken over the Name of the Day routine during our SWR time (Spelling, Writing, Reading--our phonics/spelling program). Ask your child what we have been doing with everyone's names. Your students are word wizards! |
 |
| We take lots of "brain breaks" throughout the day in first grade. Many involve movement, like the Beanbag Boogie, which is pictured above. We have a lot of great dancers in the room who like to get their wiggles out in that way! |
 |
| It's good to take breaks from the academic routine with a little bit of free choice time, and the foam blocks are often in high demand! |
 |
| Students learned about the crayon resist for practicing spelling words today. Ask your child what we did! |
