We had a super busy week this week in first grade. Man, are we working hard! We are now ready to start our Reading Roundup hour by ourselves. This means I am responsible for completing 3 reading activities independently each day. I am reading independently, reading with a buddy, listening to reading on the laptops or on the Walkmans or Listening Post, and writing about my reading as well. I even get to visit our Tiger Team library to choose new books for my book bag and there's even a time when I get to kick off my shoes and relax to read. I will even be making words from some of my favorite stories, looking for words with word patterns like my weekly spelling words. By being a good reader and completing my daily Reading Roundup tasks, I will be on my way to becoming a more successful reader, which is my goal for this first grade year!

Mrs. Fleming our counselor came to visit us this week. Ask me about the cool "magic" trick she did and how we are all connected!
In science, we talked about all of the different ways that we use water. Look at our science wall! It's filling up with so many vocabulary words after us learning about soil and next week we'll be learning about all of the different places water can be found.
In Social Studies, we learned about 3 famous good citizens:
We wrote about them in our Good Citizenship books. Ask me what I learned about them and how I am going to be a good citizen so one day maybe Mrs. Maggart will teach about me to her students and the great deeds that I did!
We have so many fun things planned for next week and Mrs. Maggart bought a lot of new books for us to learn about characters.
Love,
