Pizza at Sally's- Retelling a Story

This week in reading we covered people at work. We read the book Pizza at Sally's by Monica Wellington about a lady named Sally who owned a pizza shop. Our class really enjoyed this story- probably because it had to do with food and we got to re-create it! We used this activity to practice our retelling skills on how they made a pizza in the story. This is an easy skill to practice at home. After reading a story to you child go back through the pages and let them tell you what happened in the story.

Remembering September 11th

On Thursday, we celebrated Patriot's Day! We briefly discussed September 11th and heroes in our community. We talked about why this is such an important day to the U.S.A.

We also read the book September 12th We Knew Everything Would Be All Right. Our class loved this book! Especially, the words and illustrations. This book was written by first grades in Kennett, Missouri.  It was a neat experience for students to see a child made book.

Practicing One-to-one Correspondence with Goldfish

On Thursday, we practiced one-to-one correspondence with goldfish. This is an easy skill to practice at home that will help your child with counting.

Our Friend Zero the Hero

This week on the 20th day of school we met our friend "Zero the Hero". We discussed why the number 0 is so important and why it is different from the other numbers.

Every 10 days of school we will get to color in a Zero Hero and we are VERY excited!
