One Hundred Sixtieth Day

Today we discussed things which may cause the emotion fear.

In backpack you should find a fraction report for the week which will show "cookies" cut into equal fractional pieces with corresponding equations. I would expect most students to have been able to complete at least 5 "fraction cookies" in the allotted time. Some students will have up to 7.

I did notice how quickly footwear changed after I made mention awhile back, thank you. Today, however, a child's P.E. performance was greatly limited/unsafe due to improper/inadequate footwear. A reminder: all children should wear secure (laced) shoes (sneaker or tennis style) for safety, comfort, and performance requirements. All children should wear socks every day.

Have a good weekend.

One Hundred-Ninth Day

Today we practiced more with inflectional endings. We read The Bossy Gallito and learned that using manners can save a lot of time and effort. We created a Flow Map for one of the games we previously mapped.Italic

We learned what a bar graph is. The total possible points for the math test yesterday was 23 including 3 bonus points making 14 a passing score. Of 21 students taking the test, 18 passed with a score of 14 or better. Three students scored perfectly, 1 scored 22, 2 a 21 and 2 a 20.

A note about shoes: I haven't said anything about appropriate foot wear for school, but I would feel remiss if I don't say something about it. The most appropriate shoe for daily first grade activities will be fastened by laces (or Velcro closure) with ALL eyelets being used finished with a bow which is double knotted. Students with this type of shoe not only have an advantage during P.E. activities but are also more likely not to fall, slip, or loose their shoes during class or recess. A laced shoe is also more likely to provide the proper support and insole protection.
