Every other Friday we celebrate good behavior by having Lunch Bunch. Friends are invited to Lunch Bunch, where we eat in the classroom, when they illustrate good choices by staying on green or a rainbow color for two straight weeks. This past Friday was a special one, because ALL of our friends were invited to Lunch Bunch for the first time! It was a wonderful treat to have our whole class enjoy lunch together in the classroom. Keep up the great work 1st grade!
Rainy Day Reading
There's no better way to spice up a rainy Friday then with some Rainy Day Reading! After rereading last week's story, Lucia's Neighborhood, we listened to the text on CD to practice our reading fluency. Students got into groups of three, one child was the page turner, one the flashlight holder, and one the word pointer. Then we turned off the lights and it was time to read! Now we have something to smile about inside even when the weather may be dreary outside.
Class Pet
Congratulations to our first graders! They have earned a class pet by spelling out their reward C-L-A-S-S P-E-T letter by letter. The children earn letters when the whole class is exceeding expectations. On Friday afternoon we brainstormed pets we could have in the classroom that could be kept in a cage and/or tank and did not have any hair or fur due to allergies. We came up with a lot of great ideas. Snakes, turtles, fish, and even tarantulas - Yikes! We took a class vote, and the winner is...FISH! Ask your first grader to share about our new pet's arrival tomorrow afternoon.
