I am so very sorry I haven't updated our website since September. We have had some busy, busy days at school lately. That is no excuse and I apologize for not updating you on what your little darlings have been doing. We did go on our field trip to the pumpkin patch and I will upload the pictures from that ASAP. I will also try to show some of the pictures from Halloween at school.
We have started unit 2 in reading and things are getting a little harder around our
1st grade classroom. I am requiring the kids to take more responsibility and they are having to do some things on their own now. I am reading the one side of their reading comprehension test for now and they are reading one side by themselves. This is slowly easing them into reading the entire test by themselves. They are also doing a reading workbook page for a grade now. A lot of the kids haven't been doing so great on this and it is really bringing down their reading grades. This week they did better but they still had some trouble with it.
This week at school we have read "Who Works Here?" and we have been talking a lot about community workers. The kids did some great writing about their favorite community workers and I am hoping to make a class book about community workers because they have done such a great job!!!
We decorated for Thanksgiving this week. It has always been one of my favorite holidays. We have written about the things we are thankful for and we have all "disguised" a turkey. They are too cute!!! Thank y'all for being so creative on this project. I will take pictures of our bulletin board so everyone can see all the turkeys. Mr.East is going to judge our turkeys and they top 3 winners will be getting a prize for their hard work. I'm so proud of them and this might be my favorite school project ever :)
