Another full week in first grade! Students made observations about our milkweed bugs, which have hatched since last week, and have moved into the larvae/nymph stage of their life cycle. It was exciting to see the changes!

We learned about a lot of different things in writing as well. Students used organizers to help them retell a story using the important parts--Character, setting, events, problem, and solution. They used this knowledge to start book reports, which they will hopefully get to share with the class next week. The kids are so creative with their illustrations and descriptions! I'm excited to see what their reports look like when they're finished. We learned, also, about invitation and card writing (hopefully you all received your hand-delivered formal invitation to the First and Third Grade concert this coming Thursday!).

We're trying to mix things up and keep things active as the year winds down, and in reading we did this by creating a "word hunt". Students had to find the 12 words around the room that contained the letter "y", since that was one of our phonics focuses for the week. They enjoyed the challenge! Thankfully the weather has been wonderful this week, and we've gotten plenty of time to go outside and enjoy it! Here's to another beautiful weekend, and we'll see you next week!
