Happy Monday!

Happy Monday Fantastic First Grade Families!

On Friday during Math we surveyed our friends to find out our favorite pizza toppings. We asked every student in Room 11 if they prefer cheese, pepperoni, sausage, or mushrooms on their pizza. We discovered that Room 11's favorite topping is cheese and our least favorite is mushroom. We worked together with a partner to create a tally table and a bar graph to display our information.

Thank you to everyone who donated money for crazy hair day to benefit our adopt-a-family program. Room 11 has over 250 items! It's amazing to see their generosity at such a young age.

This week during Spelling we are back to BOSSY R! We know that when R comes right after a vowel he BOSSES it around and doesn't let it say its name OR sound. This week we are focusing on AR and OR. Check out the list we brainstormed together today! In addition to your child's FIVE Star Sight Words, they are responsible for spelling the following ten AR and OR words on our Friday test:
Smart
Yard
Hard
Bark
Shark
More
Fork
Born
Short
Sport

We have been BUSY writers in Room 11! It is one of the QUIETEST times of the day - these First Graders LOVE writing! We have been reading many Question/Answer pattern books and using them as inspiration to write our own books. We will finish our Question/Answer pattern books this week and begin writing HOLIDAY STORIES leading up to Winter Break.

Have a great night!
