In literacy this week we had a reader's theater! Each first grader was given a role in our reader's theater "Flowers in January." This helped us practice our reading fluency (making our reading sound like talking). The first graders practiced using punctuation to enhance their reading and put on some great reading performances. Some of the kiddos were even practicing their parts at recess!
This month, the first grade classes get the main hallway bulletin board real estate! For the bulletin board project we read one of my favorite stories, "Something Beautiful." The author describes "something beautiful" as something that makes your heart happy, so we took a trip around the school to find our "something beautiful" at Stephenson. Their beautiful work is on display on the bulletin boards!
As we finish up our penguin studies, the first graders have been creating penguin posters with information about their favorite penguin that we have studied. Go first grade ecologists!
