Jeb Scarecrow's Pumpkin Patch

Today's book was Jeb Scarecrow's Pumpkin Patch. Students were not as enthusiastic today with the story because they were anticipating the arrival of pizza :-) Pizza definitely trumps reading :-)


Leaves

We read Leaves today, by David Ezra Stein.

After the reading, we continued to discuss plot, setting, and characters.


Happy Birthday, Eduardo


Reading Comprehension

We began discussing plot, setting, and characters in books.

After reading Mrs. McNosh and Her Great Big Squash; students answers questions about the story and we talked about the problems and the solutions to those problems.

Game Time!

Students played a team game this morning - 5 teams of 3 (there were 2 students absent). First Graders were the team leaders and they took turns picking their 2 team mates.

The game was a mix of Mathematics, Phonic, and general knowledge questions. All the students did very good but Team Kaidynce (Kaidynce, Ty, and Destiny) came out the winners with 19 correct answers.


Bragging Time!

This morning, Kaidynce successfully completed the subtraction problems in XtraMath! She demonstrated a mastery of the subtraction table by answering all basic subtraction facts in under 3 seconds! Kaidynce earned a Brag Tag, a certificate, and applause from her classmates.
