February's No Excuse Words!

Click on the valentine bunny to download the pdf.

We can read, spell, and write these words correctly from memory.  These words are our sight words.  We call them our "No Excuse Words"!  The Word Wall Words "list" is for use at home and it does not need to be returned to school.  The spelling and writing assessment pages are for use in the classroom.  We complete these word wall reviews every other week in addition to our weekly word study assignments.  

Happy Reading, Writing, and Spelling!

I Love A Snow Day!

Hip, Hip, Hooray!  My first grade friends have been dancing their hearts out and finally they have been rewarded with a snow day.  While our area has only frozen slush right now, the real "SNOW" is forecasted for later today!  We're talking the snowman making, shoveling-kind of snow!!  Here's a look at some snowman poetry and a snowman inspired fact family poster from last week!

Here's the "5 Little Snowmen Poem".  Click the poem to download the pdf.

*Please know, I did not write this poem (...and I do not know who did...)* 

Stay Warm and Happy Teaching!

Nonfiction Text Features

We're studying many of the features of nonfiction texts this week.  With these cold temperatures, we just had to start our studies by learning about penguins!  Features we plan to study include table of contents, captions, diagrams, vivid vocabulary, glossaries, and fun facts!  Hope these graphic organizers are just what you are looking for to add to the penguin unit in your classroom!

Twirl your students around the room to form “snowflake” fact families!  Match the correct snowflakes to the fact family snowman and explain the math thinking!

Feel free to take a few of the snowflakes out of the mix and “challenge” the students to write the missing fact(s)!  Here’s to a snow dance in your classroom!
