This and That in First Grade!

This post is going to be full of randomness!

Our author study for this month is David Shannon. We've been loving all of his books, especially the David books! The kids drew David. So cute, right?


During the Daily 5, we've been talking about how important it is to select books that are a good fit. We compared hard, easy and just right books to riding a bike. We also worked on retelling and what a good retelling sounds like. The retelling anchor chart I adapted from Hello Literacy.



In math, we've been working on Tally marks! This little poem helps the littles SO MUCH when figuring out when to cross the 5th mark.

Finally, in Science we are learning about weather and the water cycle. We made these super cute rainbow-clouds to hang from the ceiling. They took all of 10 minutes to make and really brighten up the room! I found this water cycle song on proteacher.net. We sing this to the tune of She'll be Coming 'Round The Mountain.



Enjoy the rest of your week!
