LANGUAGE ARTS
LISTENING GAMES I read the book, to 1C this week. Our phonological awareness activities were focused around the book this week. Dirty Gert is a dirty tale about a little girl who loves to play in the dirt, roll in the dirt...all of it. She loves the dirt so much that one day she begins to grow roots and branches and the television cameras come to televise her, and make a star out of her...the trauma that ensues is too much!
WORDS THEIR WAY Throughout the week, the students reviewed the reviewed the consanant blends "wh" "qu" "tw" "k" with words such as queen, quilt, tweezers, twin, wheelbarrow, whale, kite, kitten.
DAILY 5 The Grade 1's are working towards staying focused for 15 minutes during each of their centers during Daily 5. During Daily 5, they complete all of their centers including Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listening to Reading and Word Work. Keep up the hard work Grade 1! 
While they reading the students are practicing the Tryin' Lion, Skippy Frog, Flip the Dolphin, Chunky Monkey, Stretchy Snake, Eagle Eye, Lips the Fish strategy.
Tryin' Lion Try it again! Re-read the sentence. Try a word that looks and sounds right.
Skippy Frog who skips the word. Reads to the end of the sentence. Hops back and re- reads the sentence.
Flip the Dolphin tries the short vowel. If it doesn't sound right, flip the sound to the long vowel and try it again. Skippy Frog who skips the word. Reads to the end of the sentence. Hops back and re- reads the sentence.
Chunky Monkey looks for hunks and chunks they know inside a word.
Stretchy Snake reminds the students to "S-T-R-E-T-C-H" it out and to say each sound slowly then say it fast.
Eagle Eye serves as a reminder to look at the pictures for clues when reading a book.
Lips the Fish looks at the beginning and ending sound of a word.
HOME READING The books will be exchanged every Friday. You may also read books from home or the library, just make sure you log it! Our classroom goal is to read (or have a book read to us) at least 7 books per week.
LIBRARY Please bring back your child's library book each Monday so they may exchange it for a new one.
MATH
1C continues to practice to count by 2s to 20. You can practice skip counting by twos with your child at home for extra practice. Here is a video that we watch in class as part of a movement break and a review of counting by 2s: https://youtu.be/OCxvNtrcDIs
The students learned about subtraction within 10. 1C can subtract using strategies such as using fingers, drawing pictures and using small objects. Also, they learned how to play subtraction war with a partner.
