Dashing into December

We are dashing into December with lots of fun activities!
Pass the Paper is a game we play to work on writing numerals up to 120.  Students have two minutes to see how far they can count on a hundreds chart with their partner.  Students write only one number and then pass the paper to their partner to write.  It is passed back and forth several times before time is up.  We are keeping track of our progress and will be graphing the data later!

Student are learning new ways to practice sight word identification.  Roll, Find, and Highlight was a new activity this week.



Mrs. Ally visited and helped students dabble into computer science concepts with a lesson on coding. Students wrote a code and practiced acting out the programmed sequence. We will continue this lesson using the Kodable app this coming week.

Students continue to learn during workstations.  It is often their most favorite time of the day.

We are excitedly welcoming in December by singing songs, making decorations, and thinking about the winter and holiday traditions our families have. It is a very exciting time of  year for all first graders!  

Don't forget students have a field trip Tuesday to see "Junie B. in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" at Radford University.  It is based on Barbara Park's wildly popular Junie B. Jones book series. Students are sure to have a good time!
