Parents, the homework to which I referred in a previous post was not an optional assignment. Please read. This assignment is the basis for half of our Unit Project.
The students now have 3 stanzas of our poem at home. We have also covered long-i spelled 'igh'.
The 1st grade teachers have decided that 1st graders will be wearing a red shirt for their winter performance on Friday the 14th.
I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that we were supposed to collect family jokes/antidotes for use after winter break. Please clarify. Also, I have not seen any poem stanzas at home...or was that a figurative "at home"? : ) is the poem about a stray dog named Willy?
ReplyDeleteI've decided to go ahead and postpone till after winter break so that will be fine. The 3 stanzas were hand-written by the students about the first 3 vowels. So everyone should have 'a', 'e', and 'i' at their physical home to practice. Willy was a realistic fiction story we read in class about a stray dog to kick off our persuasive writing projects.
ReplyDeleteShould he be practicing the stanzas at home?
ReplyDeleteI did not realize we needed to keep them....
ReplyDeleteHe should practice if that is a star he would like to earn for the star chart. Chances are fairly good he may already have the stanzas memorized.
ReplyDelete@LJoubert I also did not realize we needed to keep them.
ReplyDeleteHe does remember them and has been practicing. @Dare2charm - I'm glad I'm not the only one!
